1 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,160 This is on leash. Are you listening? 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,080 Can you hear me? Hear me? 3 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:14,680 This is on leash. Are you listening? 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,640 Can you hear me? Hear me? 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,200 This is on leash. Are you listening? 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,080 Can you hear me? Hear me? 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,680 This is on leash. Are you listening? 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,360 Can you hear me? This is on leash. 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,640 Are you listening? Can you hear me? 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,600 What's up, everybody? I admit I am. 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,160 I am. What's the right word? 12 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,640 I am a little torn and I am a little confused here. 13 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,600 And I'm talking about the quarterback situation around the 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,640 NFL specific to The Jets, but also specific to the Vikings and 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,760 Miami and the Falcons. So I want to talk about that out 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,320 of the shoot. I I do want to let you know 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,640 early though, and we get this up there now. 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,520 Tomorrow we got a big guest on the show. 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,360 So it's the second guest coming on. 20 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,080 I had Sal now tomorrow we start busting out. 21 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,360 Not that Sal's not a heavy hitter. 22 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,760 I don't mean to like that, but now we start tapping into the 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,960 Rolodex a little bit here, and my good buddy who I've known 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,240 forever, Michael Kay, will join me tomorrow at 10:15. 25 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,840 So I'll start the show. I'll give you about 15 minutes 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,240 or so content and me and Michael chop it up for a good 45 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,320 minutes, maybe longer. Can't wait. 28 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,160 It's funny, the, you know, Michael, I've known Michael for 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,040 God. I've known Michael for just over 30 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,800 20 years at this point. My goodness, now I don't see him 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,200 that much. But we never lost contact. 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,680 The last time I saw him was at Alex's Christmas party in 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,240 December. And he is, he's a rock star man. 34 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,960 He's the voice of the Yankees. As you know, he still has his 35 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,560 radio show. And I can't wait like these 36 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,360 interviews that we do, you know, whether it's Stephen A who I'm 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,360 going to have on soon. I know the Greg is going to come 38 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240 on soon as well. We'll get Booty up, we'll get 39 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,200 Alex up, we'll get Patino up. We'll get a lot of big names up. 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,840 But when I do the interviews here, to me, you know, I use the 41 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,160 word interview. It's really more of a 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,840 conversation. There are so many things to talk 43 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,840 to Michael about. Obviously we're going to 44 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,640 absolutely crush the Yankee talk. 45 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,720 That's a given. But you know, also the, you 46 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,720 know, the old radio wars and what it was like going up 47 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,720 against Francesa back in the day and just how much radios changed 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,000 and even some of the early stories at 10:50 it, it was 49 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,280 wild, man. So they, they, when they, when 50 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,240 they started 10:50, I was working in Detroit. 51 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,120 And then So what year that would have been. 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,320 Yeah, I, I think it was, I think it was right before September 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,360 11th is when they launched. So obviously 2001. 54 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,920 So I came two years later and I was there from O3 through the 55 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:43,040 middle of of the 2011. So again, I, I know Michael 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,960 really, really well. I think it's going to be 57 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,600 awesome. I reached out to him. 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,960 I said, hey, let's go. Got to get you on and these will 59 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840 be conversations. Yeah, of course. 60 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400 I'll ask him some questions, but this is going to be great. 61 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720 J Rod, you would tell me some of your buddies are fired up about 62 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,920 this, huh? Yes, Sir. 63 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,840 Yeah, No, I mean, I think a lot of my homies who you know, are 64 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,000 from the New York City area, you know, been following Michael Kay 65 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,080 for a while, just listening to him, seeing the clips, obviously 66 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040 as as we've grown up. And so, you know, they're super 67 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,000 fired up for the episode. Yeah, it's funny and I'm going 68 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,160 to talk to him about this. It's amazing to me. 69 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,560 He gets a lot of slack for this, but I don't care. 70 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,760 I really have. And I also don't get inundated 71 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,880 with stuff like he does as the voice of the Yankees. 72 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,280 But he gets a lot of hate and he gets a lot of trolls who jump 73 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,040 into his timeline there and he engages them. 74 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,040 It it's I, I want to really, I want to ask him why. 75 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,000 And, and we've talked about it a little bit off the air 76 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,600 privately. I think it's going to be a 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880 really, really fun, good conversation. 78 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Hey, the WBC starts on Friday. I've actually got what I hope is 79 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 going to be Team USA's lineup. I'll get to that a little bit. 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440 All right, so why I'm very confused here. 81 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160 There's a lot of teams that need quarterbacks. 82 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,680 What else is new? The Jets are one of them. 83 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,600 What else is new? And there's really a dearth of 84 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120 appealing options in terms of the draft once you get past 85 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080 Mendoza. You know, as we've discussed 86 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,480 here on the show, I I do like Ty Simpson. 87 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,160 I would be OK now there's more in the process. 88 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,200 Obviously, I would be OK if The Jets use that second pick. 89 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,600 I don't think that they will. I think they're going defense, 90 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,320 defense or defense, wide receiver. 91 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 I like Ty Simpson and he had himself very good combine 92 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,600 weekend at Indianapolis over the weekend. 93 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,920 So somebody's going to take him and I believe that somebody's 94 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,360 going to take him inside the top 15. 95 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,160 However, it's not just The Jets, it's the Vikings who have to 96 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,360 figure this out. As I said, it's Miami. 97 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,480 Obviously Tua is going to be a casualty there down to Miami, 98 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,920 The Atlanta Falcons. You know, Panics has been banged 99 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,760 up. The the the situation with Kirk 100 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,800 Cousins did not work out. He's going to be gone anyway. 101 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,280 Why I'm confused here, right? Is there's a player who's going 102 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,920 to be available. And if you told me, you know, 103 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,800 couple of years ago, The Jets or, or any of these other teams, 104 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,200 I don't want to just make it about The Jets. 105 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,600 It's it's a broader, broader topic, a broader concept. 106 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,840 But that, you know, from my point of view, if you told me 107 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,520 that this player was going to be available two years ago, I mean, 108 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,760 I would've been doing somersaults and cartwheels or at 109 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,360 least trying to get him to The Jets. 110 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,160 And that's Kyler Murray. Now, there's a lot, a lot with 111 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,600 Kyler Murray, some good, you know, some very confounding 112 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,200 stuff. He's been banged up a lot. 113 00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:19,800 He's got the ridiculous contract. 114 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,800 So first there's the concept of, you know, and, and what he is a 115 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,840 player and then there's some of the noise that you hear as a 116 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:28,040 player. He's good. 117 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,280 He's he's not special. He's never going to be special. 118 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 And I do think he's fairly limited. 119 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 I don't really think that he fits with The Jets going to try 120 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,240 to do with Frank Reich. I thought I saw that Boomer kind 121 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,080 of dismissed that fast. And if not, I don't want to, you 122 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,920 know, incorrectly attribute it to Boomer. 123 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480 But he obviously knows Frank, like Frank Reich really well. 124 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,920 And I thought that he said the other day I saw it on social 125 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,160 media or somewhere in a comment that he's that he gave a flat no 126 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,360 that The Jets wouldn't be interested in Kylie Murray, 127 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,320 which I'm OK with, right. But I want to set this up and 128 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,640 then I want to present why the the avenue to actually have it 129 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,600 make sense, not just for The Jets, for these other teams to 130 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,040 entice the Cardinals to bite. Now, first we unpack a few 131 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,280 things. You got to know he's still 132 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:14,640 fairly young. He's 28. 133 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,520 He's been he's been banged up a lot. 134 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,160 Now the contract is a massive issue, All right? 135 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,240 He's in the second year of a $230 million contract. 136 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,480 He signed it back in 2022. He's got about $125 million 137 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,160 guaranteed through 2028. So there's a lot of money and 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,480 certain teams, they just can't absorb that because they don't 139 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,600 have the cap space. The move The Jets made with 140 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,160 Jermaine Johnson, as I said yesterday, now this is not 141 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560 effective cap space because a lot of money is going to go to 142 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,560 draft picks, etcetera, and free agents. 143 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,280 They got to fill out the roster. But right now The Jets have 144 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:48,080 about 88 to $90,000,000. All right, So the ability to 145 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400 absorb that just from a pure mathematical point of view, it's 146 00:06:51,400 --> 00:07:01,440 obviously there. Now if. $1,000,000 All right, 147 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,280 $57 million that that's, that's a lot of money. 148 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,400 Now, if you want to do a post June 1 designation, I know I'm 149 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520 getting a little weezy here, but you have to with this stuff. 150 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,000 If you do that, which The Jets, remember they, they elected not 151 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,840 to do that with Aaron Rodgers. You know, they, they rather, 152 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,680 yeah, they they could have spread this out a little bit 153 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,320 more and I, you know, or, or, or the The Jets could have done 154 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720 things a little bit differently. They elected not to. 155 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,440 But if the if the Cardinals goal post he won, he still is owed 50 156 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,440 change for 2026 and then $7,000,000 or so in 2027. 157 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,160 All right, so I just wanted at least get the numbers out of the 158 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,920 way. Now you look at the top 159 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,320 quarterback options and forget about the draft, forget about 160 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,800 Mendoza Simpson or whatever else, really the names. 161 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,120 And and this is pretty much regurgitation of things we 162 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,640 talked about here on the show. If you want to go find it, just 163 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,280 scan the channel, hit the library. 164 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,320 I've had I've given you a lot of context on this obviously 165 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,560 leading up to it's a big story. So Malik Willis is going to get 166 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,000 paid the estimated thoughts right around 30 or 35,000,000 167 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,160 bucks a year. I would love to see The Jets 168 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160 throw their hat in there. I I think Miami's going to be 169 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,360 very active there. I think a few other teams will 170 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,200 be very active. I don't think that The Jets are 171 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,240 looking at Malik Willis the way that I might. 172 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520 OK, touched on Kyle Murray going to get back to him. 173 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Kirk Cousins. Jeez, I'll get back to Kirk 174 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240 Cousins in a minute Mariota All right, fine. 175 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,040 If that's the draft somebody and just have a good veteran in 176 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280 there and then there's obviously guys who need to be you either 177 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840 need to trade for or guys who need to get cut. 178 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,159 The 2 is the Geno Smith's Davis Mills, Mac Jones will be a 179 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,600 trade, Tanner McGee back up for Philly behind Jalen Hurts. 180 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:41,080 That's the name that you've heard a lot. 181 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,200 Now I'm good. I've constructed a plan here 182 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,600 where I actually think it makes sense for The Jets or anybody 183 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,480 else to go out there and get Kyler Murray. 184 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,080 But before I give you that, I've got to give you some very 185 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,640 sobering numbers. And quite frankly, I did not 186 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,360 even realize this. Now I like Kyler Murray. 187 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,920 I'm not enamored with Kyler Murray. 188 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,360 Couple of years ago I certainly was. 189 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,760 There was great intrigue and you know, a really interesting two 190 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,000 way explosive athlete. He could run, you know, good arm 191 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360 as a baseball player. But Warren Sharp is the name who 192 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,760 does some phenomenal work, right, Jay Rod, Do you know 193 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,920 about Drew? Warren Drew About Warren Sharp 194 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,240 at all? No, get me, get me. 195 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,480 Learn it in Warren Sharp. Well, he's basically just covers 196 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,800 the sport. He does a really good job. 197 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160 He broke down on on such a micro level. 198 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,160 I I have not seen this yet and it's really, really bad. 199 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120 OK, so I want to give you the bad because I'm constructing a 200 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,360 plan why it would ultimately make sense. 201 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Remember, I started this by saying I'm very confused. 202 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520 You know, I know The Jets need an upgrade. 203 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,400 I know Miami's got to do something that I know that the 204 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,520 Falcons need to do something. The Browns might do something. 205 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,560 I don't really know how they feel about you Door Sanders with 206 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,520 the new staff. Either way, again, it's not just 207 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,480 about The Jets here. So Warren Sharp did a deep dive. 208 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,720 Now I I want to try to keep it somewhat simple. 209 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,200 I don't want to just bombard you guys with numbers. 210 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920 I tried not to do this on the radio with like the baseball 211 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,480 savant stuff. It becomes mentally paralyzing 212 00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,560 when just number, number, number, number. 213 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,120 But this stuff really matters, all right? 214 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,000 And I think that this will, if you're pro Connor Murray, this 215 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000 will, I think, negatively transform your thoughts the 216 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,120 other way. Anyway, in the in the last four 217 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,560 years now he's missed a lot of games and I'll chronicle that in 218 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:27,360 a minute as well. But a passes of 25, your yards 219 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,480 or more, all downfield stuff, 25 yards or more. 220 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,720 He ranked 36 out of 36 eligible players right in completion 221 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,280 percentage and 36 out of 36 in yards per 10th. 222 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,680 Absolutely hideous numbers, nowhere near reflective of 223 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,960 anybody that deserves the contract that he got and 224 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480 certainly nobody that you would really run, you know, climb a 225 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,600 mountain to to try to go into choir. 226 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,920 I mean, that is very sobering. All right, you tell me. 227 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Well, he does. So he's not going to bomb away 228 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,320 even though he's got a baseball arm, as you know, as as a first 229 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,160 round pick of the A's back in the day, he does not connect. 230 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,040 All right, the yards per attempt doesn't take many shots 231 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,080 downfield. What he does, the completion 232 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,320 percentage is paltry. That's a problem. 233 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,280 All right, well, 25 yards is a pretty good shot downfield. 234 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880 Let's go incremental again. This all warrant sharp. 235 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,800 This is not me. Let's go 5 yards below that and 236 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,080 let's go from 25 yards down to 20. 237 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,960 Alright, maybe he's going to get a little bit better there. 238 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Where's he stack up? No, he still stinks. 239 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,960 He is 40 out of 46 in completion percentage and he is 42 out of 240 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,400 46 in yards per 10th. Stinks, all right? 241 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,120 He doesn't like to throw the ball down the field. 242 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,240 Not 25 yards, not 20. Let's get a little bit more of 243 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,000 an intermediate route. Can you do that? 244 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480 Let's go to 15 yards or more. All right, Well, not good 245 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,160 either. He is 42 out of 51 in completion 246 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,720 percentage, and he's 47 out of 51 in in yards per attempt. 247 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,440 Those numbers are absolutely ridiculously bad. 248 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,840 So we know he can run, we know he can make plays, we know he's 249 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,720 had some good years, couple of Pro Bowls and he's sub 30, which 250 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520 is obviously good. And he hasn't really been in a 251 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,520 good situation either. But now you get to the other 252 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,000 aspect of trying to make a move for somebody like Conor Murray. 253 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,120 And he's always banged up. And listen, this is something I 254 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920 learned, you know, whether it's me who's, who's always hurt, but 255 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,120 more importantly, real athletes. Tiki told me this and I said 256 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880 this the other day, Tiki brought this up when we were doing the 257 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,160 national show very early. So I'm going back to like 258 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,880 20/13/2014. Remember the first time he said 259 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960 this, he's like, dude, there are certain guys who were just bad 260 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,400 cell guys. They're just their body the way 261 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,360 God made them. They just don't stay healthy and 262 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,640 they're never going to stay healthy. 263 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,280 And they're just, it's not going to change, right? 264 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,760 So I think one of the foolish things in in in sports is to 265 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,200 take somebody who's banged up a lot and then expect it to change 266 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,400 radically. Like it's one thing to think, 267 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080 you know, throughout of arrogance or planning or 268 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,840 confidence, whatever. Hey, this guy was in a bad 269 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,280 system. No old line, no weapons that can 270 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,640 win on the outside, you know, very benign play calling. 271 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400 The defense stunk, so they were always down multiple scores, 272 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,600 which made what they were going to do very predictable. 273 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,480 So you couldn't really run it very much. 274 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,640 You didn't have a good favorable split run versus the pass. 275 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:13,720 All that football stuff, which I do think matters and I do think 276 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,280 applies because there's a lot of guys who their first act was not 277 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,680 very good. They got in a better situation, 278 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840 better online, better weapons, more stable coaching, better 279 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200 franchise, all that stuff that really does, especially for a 280 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,680 quarterback, man it it, it is paramount that you have at least 281 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:32,280 a few of those things. And then even if you're missing 282 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,680 one or two, talent could elevate you to a place that is still 283 00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:39,360 very successful. But if you are hurt, like the 284 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,080 trainers are not going to be so much better in terms of 285 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,760 preventative measures or getting somebody healthy when they're 286 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,080 hurt like he he, it's a problem. The guy's always hurt. 287 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,160 All right, so and I'll get to the master plan in a second. 288 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:56,960 You look at his injury history and it started early in 2021, he 289 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,640 jacked up his ankle and he missed multiple games. 290 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,760 All right, it happens. Guys get hit quarterback spot 291 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,320 running for your life, young quarterback, bad team, get it. 292 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:10,560 You go to 2022 had a hamstring issue and then he he obviously 293 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,320 missed a lot of time. He's tore, he tore his ACL and 294 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,160 was at his PCL or his MCL. I think it was the medial either 295 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,760 way, he shredded his ACL, missed a ton of time. 296 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,520 Then you get to 2022 and he played only 8 of 17 games 297 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,520 because he was rehabbing from the torn ACL, which obviously 298 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,080 is, you know, you know, the timeline with the ACL. 299 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,720 And then last year and this was really, this was like where you 300 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,960 like, I mean, it's just not going to work for this dude for 301 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,880 the most part. Last year he missed 12 out of 17 302 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,720 games. He had the Linds Frank injury, 303 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,440 Chin Ming Wong had that. If you're a big Yankee fan, 304 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080 remember that he got hurt running the bases in Houston. 305 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,040 It basically, it is a, it is a midfoot sprain and it is 306 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,080 anything but benign. It is a problem. 307 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,840 Now, I'm not saying it's not going to be healthy this year, 308 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160 but like when you're dealing with that in real time, not 309 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280 good. The other thing that that Sharp 310 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,120 did, Warren Sharp did, and this was really interesting. 311 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,960 And again, I, I, you know, you, you've got to factor this in, 312 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,040 especially for a team like The Jets, the Browns, the Steelers, 313 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,680 the Ravens, the Bills, the Patriots, like those Northeast 314 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320 teams that just play in consistent inclement weather 315 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,920 when you get past Halloween. This was amazing. 316 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Based on when he was hurt and the amount of games that he 317 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280 played versus the ones that he missed, only 12. 318 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,440 This is crazy. Only 12 of his 41 games were 319 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,040 outdoors since 2022. And the numbers, and I'm not, 320 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,600 I'm going to stop hitting you with numbers here. 321 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Warren Sharp actually did this, but I'm going to stop because 322 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,680 it's getting too much even for me. 323 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,160 But if you do a micro deep dive into those games, playing 12 out 324 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,640 of 41 games outdoors, the 12 games outdoors, the numbers were 325 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680 hard. OK, so smaller sample hasn't 326 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,920 played well outdoors, hasn't been healthy, hasn't been good 327 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,880 throwing the ball downfield at all. 328 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,920 And by the way, 15 yards downfield is not really 329 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,240 downfield like that's as I said, that's a very intermediate 330 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120 route. So all those things. 331 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,360 But I might have one more for you. 332 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,000 Yeah, I do. I wouldn't even take it down to 333 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,160 10 plus yards. Your boy did some research. 334 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600 All right, So, well, Warren did it and then I found it. 335 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,720 But if I wasn't looking for the research, I wouldn't have come 336 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,240 across Warren stuff, which is great. 337 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,960 The last four years combined, Throw it all in a blender, 338 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,240 right. 10 yards. So we're basically talking a 339 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,760 step above screen passes of at least 175 attempts or more. 340 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,000 He had, he was 36 out of 43 in completion percentage, which is 341 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,000 just, I mean, good God almighty, that is just wretchedly bad. 342 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,640 And 41 out of 43 in yards per attempt. 343 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,040 And I think this is the last number of the 32 qualifying 344 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,440 quarterbacks he did not rank in the top 32 throwing downfield. 345 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,960 This is just now an all-encompassing of, of 346 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,320 everything that I hit you with 10 yards, 15 yards, 20 yards or 347 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,480 25 yards. So I guess the question really 348 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,440 we can ask is like what the hell does he do? 349 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,160 Well, it's not healthy. Can't throw it past 10, can't 350 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,640 throw it past 15, doesn't throw it past 20 and it's awful 351 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,280 throwing it past 2025. So why in the world am I about 352 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,200 to tell you that not only The Jets, but any team that needs a 353 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,680 quarterback, why in the world would I say that they should go 354 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,800 out and engage with the Cardinals right now for a trade 355 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,800 and not wait for him to be released? 356 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,680 I'm going to tell you why, because the incentive for 357 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,400 Arizona is through the roof to shed that contract, which is why 358 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,200 most people think that he's going to be released, which, by 359 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,400 the way, I agree with. I think that that's probably 360 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,040 what's going to happen. But I want to give the Cardinals 361 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,160 something to think about. I'm calling them up. 362 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,880 And Mooji. Mooji is the kind of GM forward 363 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,800 thinker who's probably already kicking this around upstairs. 364 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720 I'm going to call up Arizona and I'm going to tell him very 365 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,480 simple. All right, we want to trade for 366 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,200 calamari because we've got $90,000,000 in cap space and 367 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,520 about 50-60 in effective cap space. 368 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,240 We can absorb it. So we're one of the we we know 369 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,880 you don't want him. You got to move on. 1st overall 370 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,440 pick didn't work out, hasn't won, banged up, not performing 371 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,600 and and we know that you like Jacoby percent better, which by 372 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,960 the way, The Jets probably like Jacoby percent better as well. 373 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,920 Doesn't turn the ball over. But how you engage the Cardinals 374 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,920 is by giving them something to think about that I don't think 375 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,680 any other teams going to do. And this is what it is when you 376 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840 if you call them and talk to them about acquiring Kyler 377 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,880 Murray, it's not just, hey, we want to trade for Kyler Murray. 378 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:34,560 It's it's a step further. We want Kyler Murray, but we 379 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,360 will only take him off your hand, off your hands if you 380 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:41,200 throw a nice pick in there. So you can do a couple of things 381 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,840 here. If you're a bad team and you 382 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,760 need a sizeable upgraded quarterback, which The Jets and 383 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,440 others absolutely do well, the way you make this deal work is 384 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,480 because you're taking on so much money of an undesirable 385 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,920 contract. OK, you're getting them to give 386 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,520 you a draft pick. Now you're not going to get a 387 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,080 first overall pick. So what would you get, genius? 388 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,480 So you construct this plan. You're OK with Kalahari coming 389 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,440 to The Jets. You've got a plan to get the 390 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Cardinals to at least think about it. 391 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,320 How would the draft equity and the draft capital, how would it 392 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,200 actually make sense? Here's the answer. 393 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,560 The way you make it make sense. Is this because he's hurt a lot? 394 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,600 You're not going to get the Cardinals to just give you like 395 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,920 a premium pick. For me, a premium pick is a 396 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:32,760 second round pick. Feel that's got to stop 397 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,600 happening. Yeah, I mean, I, I don't know 398 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600 what is going on here. I told you. 399 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,680 It's the Wi-Fi. I got it. 400 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,200 I got it shacked up. I got to get fixed up. 401 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,760 I will whatever, but the way you make that look nice. 402 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,520 Nice transition there, J Ron. Get right back to the content. 403 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,720 Plow through. Hey, step over the little 404 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,040 obstacle. Keep it moving. 405 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,080 Good job. J Ron. 406 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,240 Would it be locked in today? So to me, I think a nice draft 407 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,640 package in return would be, let's start with the third 408 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,240 rounder, all right? And if Kyler Murray does not 409 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,200 play at least 9 or 10 games and it's got to be because of injury 410 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,320 designation, it can't be. And we're going to just sit him 411 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560 on the bench because we want to have this trigger to a more 412 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,000 favorable draft pick because that's the deal we set up. 413 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,680 You'd have to work that into the contract. 414 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,480 And the Cardinals, if they don't, they're idiots. 415 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,440 Which, by the way, they might be so. 416 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,240 Think about this, you absorb all the money going to be $50 417 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,080 million Cardinals off, off the hook, they could get on with 418 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480 their business. The Jets have the money to do it 419 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,720 and by the way, the Vikings don't have the money to do it. 420 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,280 I don't want to just keep a Jet specific. 421 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,760 The doubts don't have the money to do it and I and I and Atlanta 422 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,800 does not have the money that The Jets have either. 423 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,240 So The Jets are a good spot to at least give them something to 424 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,840 think about. Now let's say they make a trade 425 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,360 and they agree. All right, Kyler Murray, Jets, 426 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:56,520 you absorb the money and they settle. 427 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,880 Even if it's a fourth round pick. 428 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,120 Let's just go 4th. All right, Maybe I'm thinking 429 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,680 too ambitiously here. Let's go fourth round pick. 430 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,840 Well, if Kyler Murray doesn't play the X amount of game, 431 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,920 whatever the allotment is determined during the the trade. 432 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,960 If he doesn't play X amount of games, that that fourth round 433 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,320 pick becomes a third. So if the Linds Frank gets 434 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,280 jacked up or he pulls A hamstring or God forbid 435 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,400 something else happens to the I don't see anybody get hurt. 436 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,480 But if something else happens now, the 4th becomes a third or 437 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:32,480 the third becomes a two, it's basically incentive to to to 438 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,080 have the Cardinals think about this. 439 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800 Because for the Jet, he's not good enough, all right? 440 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560 He's not enough of a difference maker, doesn't play well 441 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,880 outside. I gave you all the other 442 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,160 numbers. I don't need to just keep 443 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320 resetting that. So you've got to do something 444 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,440 that gives The Jets incentive to want to do this. 445 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280 And then you got to give something to the Cardinals to 446 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,840 really think about. That's how you construct a deal. 447 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,760 See, in my mind, right, there's always to make it. 448 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,080 There's always a way to make a trade. 449 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,720 There's always an Ave. there's always a lane to get somebody to 450 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,840 really contemplate. Man, man, do we really want to 451 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,720 do this here? We don't want to, we don't want 452 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,760 to move forward with Kyler Murray, but man, we don't want 453 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,080 this money on our books. It's just too burdensome here. 454 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,120 I'll have The Jets. They'll take them off our hands 455 00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,680 for a fourth round pick or a third, even with a with a 456 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,560 triggering up if he if he's hurt again, I think that that could 457 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,880 be a way to get this done. I really do. 458 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,280 Now, I also think that there's better options out there and 459 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,000 understand this because when you make a trade, you make a trade 460 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,080 for two reasons. Now, the first one is very 461 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,840 obvious. You make a trade to get better, 462 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,400 You make a trade to save, you make a trade to save jobs. 463 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,640 Now, Mooji doesn't have to do that because I think Darren 464 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,640 Mooji's distinguished himself pretty well early on, very well. 465 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,840 You know, I've got profound belief in him as a as as a 466 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,760 general manager who reads the trade market well, is proactive, 467 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,480 is aggressive, is out-of-the-box, has has shown 468 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,960 some signs of drafting well, has shown some very good signs of 469 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,720 being able to look at other rosters that other teams view as 470 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,440 less desirable commodities. Bring them in, whether it's 471 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,960 return game, you know, Mooji, they kept messing around with 472 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,560 that. They found somebody who had 473 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,760 multiple returns for touchdowns. Like those are little moves. 474 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,280 That gives me confidence that Mooji knows what he's doing. 475 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200 Absolutely. So you make a trade obviously to 476 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,200 get better the other way though, and now I want to incorporate 477 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,040 somebody like a Kirk Cousins and and somebody like Jacoby 478 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,160 Brissette. The other reason why you make a 479 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,960 trade is just just to raise the floor, all right, And yes, to 480 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,600 win some more games, to change perception, to change the energy 481 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,560 and the stench, get rid of the stench of the building which is 482 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,760 swallowed up The Jets and some of these other teams for far too 483 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,200 long. But I'm a big believer, even if 484 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,720 you can make a trade, right, and the ultimate goal, at least in 485 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,960 the moment, and, and the belief like, well, I mean, the goal is 486 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,560 nobody's going to sit there and say, oh, we have no chance to 487 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,160 win the Super Bowl. Nobody thinks like that. 488 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,160 If you do, you're you're an inherent loser. 489 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,640 Even the worst teams are in their minds, they are, even if 490 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,560 it's outlandishly, you know, unattainable, you know, to the 491 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,680 common person like us on the outside looking in, they don't 492 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,680 think that way because they think that their plan that 493 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,760 they've crafted all offseason is going even for the bad teams, 494 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,240 the horrible teams is going to be one that is going to be good 495 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,560 enough to elevate them to be in the playoff mix. 496 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,760 And then when you get to the playoffs, you never know what's 497 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,840 going to happen, All right, You know, and it should never be 498 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,840 based on rooting for injury ever, certainly not for me. 499 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,360 But you know, think about about the AFC this year and the Chiefs 500 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,000 weren't the same team with Mahomes. 501 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,000 They weren't the same offense with Mahomes because their stars 502 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,120 were getting old or whatever. But you know, Patrick Mahomes 503 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,040 goes down. That changes the entire opening 504 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,080 or the window for some team. So I really think that The Jets, 505 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,960 lesser extent, I, I think let, let me let me go to the four 506 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,800 teams that are already outlined. So I think The Jets are in the 507 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,680 position of just merely needing to elevate the floor to a more 508 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,240 competitive, more aesthetically pleasing, more balanced 509 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,120 presentation. That's The Jets. 510 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,000 The Vikings got to win all right, because a couple of years 511 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,160 ago the Vikings were really good with Sam Darnold. 512 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:19,240 They let him go. Idiotic move. 513 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,360 Sam wins the Super Bowl, gets paid right, all that stuff. 514 00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,920 And, and rightfully so. And the Vikings are now left 515 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,840 with a roster, you know, you you very well might have the best 516 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,600 receiver in football and Justin Jefferson, you've got some 517 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,960 weapons, you've got some players. 518 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,320 So what the Vikings are doing this off season is to their 519 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,800 aspiration should be let's attack the quarterback position 520 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,200 with somebody that we think could, you know, get us back to 521 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,280 that. You know, even though they won 522 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,680 more than 10 games with Sam, get into that 10 win ish of maybe 523 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,120 even 11 win threshold and even in a very good division because 524 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,840 the NFC North is now stacked and just have a chance to throw our 525 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,640 hat in the ring, get to the playoffs beyond and make a move 526 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,880 right. Because what happens like the 527 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,160 worst spot to be in, We think the worst spot is being fans of 528 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,600 a team that has no talent. Now that sucks. 529 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,160 I mean it's Sundays are boring. There's no hope. 530 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,920 It's listless, but at least when you have a team with no talent, 531 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,040 all right, generally, unless you're a complete loser 532 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,040 franchise like the Browns because of that stupid, the Shaw 533 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,360 and and sorry Browns fans, I'm I love you, but it is what it is 534 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:29,880 and who am I to judge? But like at least The Jets have 535 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000 cap space. All right, the deal that they 536 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,360 gave to Deshaun Watson 230,000,200 and 30 million 537 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:41,120 guaranteed contract that is really prevented them from doing 538 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:44,640 anything meaningful. So I would much rather stink and 539 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,520 have a ton of draft capital, check for The Jets stink and 540 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,640 have a ton of cap space for The Jets check then be like the 541 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,040 Vikings in. I don't think this sounds odd in 542 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,160 a fairly undesirable situation with the quarterbacks because 543 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,040 there's no home runs out there. But it but a roster with some 544 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,880 big contracts, some expectations, a fan base that 545 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,160 thought they were going to keep winning ownership. 546 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,960 Think about the GM. He's gone ownership that thought 547 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,760 that they were going to win and you know, kind of be in no man's 548 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,800 land. Like The Jets aren't in no man's 549 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,280 land. They're just wretched. 550 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:20,640 They got to figure out a way to get more talent and stock the 551 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,480 cupboards And and I almost think that with a new GM, not if 552 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,600 you're in Year 5, that's awful, but if you're going into year 2, 553 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,040 that's a good spot to be in. All right, let's see BT keep 554 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,320 grinding and ignore the haters. Also shout out to my wife 555 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,920 Mercedes, what's up, Mercedes? I don't see a lot of haters 556 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,440 here. I mean, there's haters in the 557 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,480 world there and I appreciate the the, you know, the shout out 558 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,880 there in the, you know, like the the confidence boost. 559 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,440 Not that I really need one. J Rod, are we getting hit with 560 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,000 haters today? Well, what am I missing here? 561 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,720 I mean, I'm not seeing too many, I'm not seeing too many haters. 562 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,200 I mean, there's, you know, there's a couple, couple haters 563 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,800 on The Jets down here. Won't. 564 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,680 You pop a few, pop the haters up, I'll have a little What's my 565 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,560 boy hater? A little hater rate. 566 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,200 See, I'm my. Every show talk jets. 567 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560 I'm not March 3rd, I'm not what I'm doing. 568 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,960 Is I'm talking NFL quarterbacks? Is that that hard to comprehend? 569 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,360 I mean, if you can't, if you can't, if you can't hear 570 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,120 properly, I don't know what to tell you. 571 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,080 You're still talking football. Unless you're gambling, 572 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,880 football's a super boring sport. Well, Mikey, what sport do you 573 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,120 like? Dude, it's the number one sport 574 00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,200 in in, in not in the world. That's soccer in our country. 575 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,000 Now, listen, there's a lot of issues with the NFL. 576 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,200 What do you want me to talk about? 577 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,640 I'm going to get to the WBCI talk Yanks and Mets in baseball 578 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,880 every day. I got Nuggets for you. 579 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,720 I talk NBA. What do you what else is out 580 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,240 there, buddy? What would you? 581 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,200 How about this? All right, who's that? 582 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,480 Weaving underwater basket weaving. 583 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,200 That's what he wants you to touch on, Yeah. 584 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,680 Well, you got the wrong show for that, buddy. 585 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,280 Go find somebody else. Here's what I'm going to give 586 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,320 you the power to do. All right, since you're so 587 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,480 smart, since you're such a genius, since you're apparently 588 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,760 evidently an aspiring program director or content director, 589 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,400 I'm going to give you the latitude and I'm going to have J 590 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,520 Rod put it up on the screen. Whatever. 591 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,600 If you could actually figure something out, and I want you to 592 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,880 tell me. All right? 593 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,400 I want you to tell. I'll read it. 594 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,120 I'll read, I promise. I want you to write out three 595 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,000 things that you think are more worthy of starting a show today. 596 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,960 It is. And I promise you I will read 597 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,520 them. And if they're good, I'll give 598 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,120 you props. I don't think they're going to 599 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680 be good because I know what I'm doing, so I listen. 600 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:34,040 If it was, I don't know April 7th that I'm doing this probably 601 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,920 a little bit off base couple of weeks into the season March 602 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,120 Madness, you know, final four just wrapped up NFL draft around 603 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,640 the corner. What are you talking about, 604 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,400 dude? I I want to see if you even have 605 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,040 the guts to try to put something up there. 606 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,280 See that's what I love. I listen the and I, I, I don't, 607 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,520 I don't think now I know I have haters, but I actually get more 608 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,440 support than I do hate. I, I can't really quantify that. 609 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Like you'd have to really read everything that I get in the 610 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,200 messages. I'm, I'm not going to give you 611 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,800 access to it, but I feel, I feel as if I am more loved than 612 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,720 loathed. I really believe that I felt it 613 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,360 when things ended at the fan. I still see a lot of comments 614 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,320 about what what went down and all that stuff, you know, 615 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,200 wishing me and Sal were still on the air. 616 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,760 And by the way, that show never should have been taken off the 617 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,600 show. It was the best show. 618 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,360 It was great. We all know that. 619 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,400 And I, I think that when I, when I read that stuff, I read it 620 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,880 because the, I read it not to get validation necessarily, 621 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,320 because the validation is what I've done so far in my career. 622 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,320 And this is a new, new chapter, admittedly. 623 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,000 And I haven't, I'm not making any money yet. 624 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,480 I get it. But the the haters or fuel, like 625 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,520 I take that as fuel because this you got to remember, guys, this 626 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,560 started take a little sideswipe, as we sometimes do here on BT 627 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,040 unleashed. When I told everybody that I 628 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,760 wanted to be a sports broadcaster when the baseball 629 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,360 dream so painfully died. Oh God, did that hurt J Rod, You 630 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,960 know that that hurt man. You knew when it when it when I 631 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,560 had to officially take off the spikes and hang it up. 632 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,240 You know, even though in my heart I knew, you know, even 633 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,120 before I did that, that there wasn't going to go where I 634 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520 wanted it to go necessarily, you know, playing for the Yankees, 635 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,320 taking over for Donnie baseball first base. 636 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,480 When I told everybody, my best friends and my family, obviously 637 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,440 first and foremost what I was going to do, even my dad who you 638 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,200 listen to that final show on the fan and my dad is the best. 639 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,440 I he's probably watching right now. 640 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,760 I'm going to get my dad on the show. 641 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,560 Maybe dude do a little old school baseball. 642 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,920 I've said that a few times. He's got to figure out, you know 643 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,600 how to get into the to the link here and J Rod J Rod and mom 644 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,320 will help him with that. My dad's the best, but I 645 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,520 remember because my dad is very practical and very conservative 646 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,600 in a lot of things and how he views the world. 647 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,280 And my dad, who, you know, was, was a detective for a long time 648 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,040 and also opened his own business after that and, and did well and 649 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760 very proud of him, worked his ass off. 650 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,200 That's why we went from the, you know, broken down, dilapidated 651 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,640 cars that he would, he would buy for like 1000 bucks when he saw 652 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,160 a sign of the car on the street actually having a, a few new 653 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,720 cars, right? And that was great and I'm proud 654 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,080 of him. But my dad, just based on how he 655 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,560 was raised and the era in which he was raised, was brought up 656 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,600 with, you got to have a plan. That's why he's like, I'll take 657 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,080 the police test. No, I'm not going to I'm not 658 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,320 that's not what I'm doing. And I remember I actually got 659 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:27,400 into a fight with him like a, a, a vicious argument when, when 660 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,480 something happened early and I thought I was going to get my 661 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,840 first radio job. And then it was like it was 662 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,680 promised to me. And I was like 20, whatever 663 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,240 years old, just out of school promised to me. 664 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,240 And then it was taken away. And I won't bore you with the 665 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,920 story. I eventually got it right. 666 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,320 But you know, we kind of exploded each other. 667 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,160 His explosion to me was him trying to protect me, which I 668 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,280 understand. This is dad. 669 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,800 And I think if you're of the older generation and you are 670 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,880 Irish, not the stereotype, but I'm Irish. 671 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,240 So I can say this, you know, the, the Irish generally have a 672 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,880 rougher time expressing themselves. 673 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,800 Like my mom was always I love you and soft and you could do 674 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,920 it. You can do whatever you want. 675 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,800 My dad was more practical because my dad is the head of 676 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,800 the household and the man who and my mom didn't, she worked 677 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,680 for a little bit, but she was when we were young, she was 678 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,520 always home, right? Always home and during lunch 679 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,440 after school. And he's of the mindset all 680 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,040 right about, you know, I'm raising a man here. 681 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,520 Eventually he's got to be able to put food on the table pay for 682 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,920 a home and and do all that stuff. 683 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,040 And and he didn't really think that this radio thing was 684 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,960 necessarily viable. I told you it was pops told you 685 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:36,560 and and and so the only one that really, really truly and my 686 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,360 sister did a little bit as well was my mom who said not she had 687 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,360 full unflinching, unwavering conviction in me. 688 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,680 So I am from even my best buddies were like who were on 689 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,600 Wall Street making money and I was making 16,000 bucks and 690 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,200 they're starting to make some some bank and and they they 691 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,760 believed in me. But early on they're like, man, 692 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,240 this is going to be hard. Why are you going to move to 693 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,960 Pennsylvania? You're going to move to this 694 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,040 tiny town to be on the right. Yeah, you're damn right I'm 695 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,720 going to do it because I'm going to make it so Any of the hate, 696 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,000 any of that stuff, it is fuel. It is oxygen. 697 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,320 Bring it on. All right. 698 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,960 But I also don't think that I really get more hate than either 699 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,760 appreciation or respect or love, because I support. 700 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,199 I think at the end of the day, I think it's very, very obvious 701 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,840 that one of my greatest strengths here is that is that 702 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,159 I'm real and that I'm not arrogant and that I'm a really 703 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:32,880 hard worker. And I think that you guys know 704 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,400 that and I'm prepared and I'm fair and I'm not lazy. 705 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,199 So yeah. And by the way, I'm still 706 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,000 waiting for this nitwit. Did he get something up there 707 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:40,760 or? No, Not anything. 708 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,760 Not up in. Silence as usual. 709 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,440 See that's that's the other thing too. 710 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,719 Like I don't and that's why I'm looking forward to having 711 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,360 Michael Kate. One one of the many reasons 712 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,000 Michael Michael engages with the trolls on Twitter. 713 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,280 Like he will actually subtweet stuff. 714 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,920 And and I don't know why he does it. 715 00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,440 I mean, the guy's got more money than he could want. 716 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,600 He's the voice of the Yankees. He's gonna be in Cooperstown 717 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600 someday in the broadcast was a Hall of Famer. 718 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,640 And when I tell him that, he's like, I had no chance. 719 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,520 I'm like, dude, you've been doing the Yankees for multiple 720 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,480 decades, for like 30 something years. 721 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,160 You're going to be in the Hall of Fame. 722 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,240 You've called championship after championship and big, you're 723 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,360 going to be there, man. And I guess if you're handy, 724 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,080 can't really think that way. So I respect that. 725 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,360 But he he, he goes and he doesn't really go after the 726 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,400 trolls, but he will engage with them And and I'm like, why? 727 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:32,000 They are useless people. It is useless energy generally. 728 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,880 Generally, trolls are people. I didn't even think I'd get into 729 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,920 this. Trolls are people who one, have 730 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:44,240 no confidence, 2 are incredibly jealous, three have no real plan 731 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,280 in life. You know what I mean? 732 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,960 That's pretty much what it comes down to, no? 733 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,360 It's, it's tough. And this is what's interesting 734 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,760 about I think, you know, your trolls maybe in particular, at 735 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,680 least the people I see on Twitter, they really love you. 736 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,080 Like, that's the funny. Thing is, like, these people 737 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:06,160 might generally or genuinely be more interested in your career, 738 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,120 your trajectory, your whatever, than the people who are 739 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,080 incredibly invested. Because it's like, you know, 740 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,360 these people are taking time out of their day pretty much most 741 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,000 days of the week to say something. 742 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,280 And it's like, they must love this guy. 743 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,320 They must. Yeah, yeah, I get a lot on the 744 00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:25,840 one thing I've noticed here and, and it's, it's not even it's, 745 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,760 it's more of a, a response like yesterday we put that out there. 746 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,000 Have I been unfair to the Knicks? 747 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,400 Right. I don't think I've been unfair 748 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,400 to the Knicks at all because at the start of the season, I I 749 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960 said I thought the Knicks would win 5455 games, be the first or 750 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,600 the second seed in the Eastern Conference. 751 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,720 Get back to the, you know, go to the conference finals and you 752 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:45,360 don't have a real chance to win a deep series and get to the NBA 753 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,320 Finals and then probably lose to OK C. 754 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,480 Now, if they play Denver, they could beat them. 755 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,120 But OK C is the team if they get healthy, all that stuff, that's 756 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,400 the team you got to worry about the most. 757 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,720 And I think one thing that Nick fans say about me is that I'm 758 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:03,040 too reactive after bad moments. You know what I mean? 759 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,960 Like, but I don't even think. And by the way, I I have no 760 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,680 problem absorbing criticism. I've got no problem looking in 761 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,760 the mirror and say you fucked that up, dude. 762 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,720 That was off, that was mad at that. 763 00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:16,280 That's why I own stuff. You know, whether it was Zach 764 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,480 Wilson, whether it was Lindor only hitting right-handed. 765 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,200 I mean, there's been some horrendous takes out of me over 766 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,200 the years. Of course, dude, I get that. 767 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,680 But I don't even think that I've been unfair to the Knicks. 768 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,640 I think I've been as engaged as anybody who does what I do for a 769 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,880 living, covering and following the Knicks because unlike many 770 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,920 people, I never stopped watching the Knicks when they were awful. 771 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:42,600 All right, So you know, the the fluctuations in expectation, 772 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,200 they are what they are. And when Detroit pushes you 773 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:50,120 around and mops you by 37. And you know when, When Mike 774 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,520 Brown is hugging Draymond Green after Draymond was talking smack 775 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,560 about Cat and when Mike Brown was hugging Bickerstaff after 776 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,200 another watch job by the Pistons? 777 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,840 Like, what am I supposed to say? Oh, the Knicks will be fine. 778 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,440 Like, what do you guys expect? I don't know what people expect. 779 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,400 I know the world's gotten incredibly soft. 780 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,800 Like, trust me, I'm well aware of that, but I don't know about 781 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,080 me having been raised on sports radio, Mike and Chris, and fall 782 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,280 asleep to the radio and all that stuff every night, as you know, 783 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:23,040 like to me, if I heard something that was inauthentic or not 784 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,800 relatable or not applicable, I'd be like, this guy sucks. 785 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,920 You know, if you know what, here I'm going to say something that 786 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,320 I think is going to sound incredibly egotistical, and I 787 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,000 don't mean it that way, but I don't know how else to say it. 788 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,160 J Rod, I really think that if you know sports and you really 789 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,640 know what you're talking about and you're not lazy and you're 790 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,120 not just watching a highlight and getting a little something 791 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,960 off TikTok or a little, you know, a little quote off for 792 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,280 social media that gets hijacked. If you're really in the trenches 793 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,840 and love sport and know sport and follow sport and best 794 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,960 yourself, your time and sport, I think you love me because I 795 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,240 think that you know that I do that. 796 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,400 Even if you disagree with my assertions. 797 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,320 I'll tell you one thing. I don't know. 798 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:07,240 I don't want to do this for an hour. 799 00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:08,280 I'm going to move on to a second. 800 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,440 Jeez, I don't know. I really don't know of a person 801 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,760 that is, you know, everybody knows I'm a Yankee fan. 802 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,360 I don't hide that. But I don't know anybody in our 803 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:23,760 business that is a Yankee fan that is as fair or as 804 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,360 knowledgeable out the about the Mets more than me. 805 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,760 I don't know anybody. And I've worked with basically 806 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,760 everybody in the business in New York, everybody. 807 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,560 And if I haven't worked with him, I've worked at the same 808 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,880 station with him, you know what I mean? 809 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,680 So I think that I'm always rooted in transparency and it 810 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,760 being fair. By the way, has Mr. Nitwit come 811 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,360 up with a couple of bulletproof channels incapable My. 812 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,280 Guess would be he's he's long gone. 813 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,440 My guess would be he came in, shot a shot. 814 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,640 Shot an air ball. Shot an air ball, shot a little 815 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,320 who was AD Aaron Fox the other day off the right side of the 816 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,160 basket and then dipped. He did dip a little dippage 817 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,040 there. Let me get D under score. 818 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,840 Rod Kay doesn't have thin skin. It's trying to understand why 819 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,040 people say the stupid things they do online because they 820 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,360 wouldn't say that stuff to your face. 821 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,840 I, I mean, I think that that's a part of it. 822 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,680 And, and not to, not to alienate my guest and my good buddy, I do 823 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,760 think that Michael does have a little bit of thin skin. 824 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,400 I've talked to him about this. I think that he really does care 825 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,600 a little bit more than he should about what people say that, you 826 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,720 know, I, I really, I do, I, you know, and I think that, no, I, I 827 00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:36,800 think to, to be obtuse, to not follow to an extent how you're 828 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,560 perceived is really dumb. Like, I think that and, and 829 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,360 that, that's why I, I will dive into comments here and there and 830 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,040 do a little digging. I true story. 831 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,200 So I guess about this was about a year how long ago? 832 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,480 Maybe about a year or so ago, right. 833 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,840 That's actually a good illumination of of how people 834 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,760 think and how much inaccuracy is out there. 835 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,120 All right, somebody at this, I'm not going to say his name, 836 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,760 somebody at WFAN, not on the air. 837 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,800 Good guy. I don't even know if he's still 838 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,320 there. I I hope he wasn't let go. 839 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,760 He may have been after me. I hope not. 840 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,840 The radio lifer, like one of the production guys who, you know, 841 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,920 you got to cut a spot. I know you know this, but I'm 842 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:20,960 going to explain this to everybody. 843 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,320 So I do a lot of work with Verizon. 844 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,480 All right, so I had a relationship with Verizon for 845 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,680 about five years on the fan, which means I would record 846 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,120 promos. So he would call me in. 847 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,760 Hey, we got the new spot. I would read it whether it's 30 848 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,720 seconds, 60 seconds, I would read it and then you would hear 849 00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,480 it on WFANI would also do a live reads during the show. 850 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,160 And my relationship, I'm very proud to say has continued with 851 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,960 Verizon. I'm doing motivational speaking 852 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,560 with them on March 12th. I think Joe Torre is going to be 853 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,880 there as well. Big room about 150 Verizon 854 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,480 executives spoke with spoke there a year ago. 855 00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:01,960 Great relationship, right?

I guess it's better to have a 861 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,560 cleaner house than they come every couple weeks. 862 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,320 It's not like we're that we're not that rich. 863 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,920 They're coming every day coming every few weeks. 864 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,440 Anyway, so this gentleman says to me one day when I'm after I 865 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,280 record the Verizon spot, he goes, hey, he goes, things have 866 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,600 started to change a little bit for you and Sal on Reddit. 867 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,400 I go, what the fuck is what's why don't you know what Reddit 868 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,840 is?

Probably the Carl Bank stuff and 878 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:07,160 the other things too. But anyway, it was about they're 879 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,720 like, no, that the energy started shit. 880 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,720 Now they're attacking another show and you guys are starting 881 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:13,520 to get a lot of love. You started to get embraced and 882 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,280 starting to get received by the Reddit community. 883 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,200 I'm like great to the as long as they listen every day. 884 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,480 Yeah, I don't know. So I really did not even know. 885 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,920 I didn't even I I've never been. I don't have a Reddit account. 886 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,560 I never will. No. 887 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,240 Why the hell would I do that? No, it's funny. 888 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:34,480 I was, I mean, I was looking you up the other day on it, but but 889 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,840 it's nothing that I put out there. 890 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,640 No, no, no, it cuz Reddit, it's more of like a, I'd say it's 891 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,920 like a community space where people discuss. 892 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,760 So there'd be like posts where someone be like BT is starting a 893 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,240 new show unleashed where he's doing da da da da da da. 894 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,920 And then like people in the comments would kind of just 895 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,640 discuss it and be like, Hey, good for him or, you know, 896 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,320 whatever or horrible. Move by the station, get rid of 897 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,640 that, stuff like that. Yeah, I got you. 898 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,040 I saw a few of those. All right, So no, I have since 899 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,920 leaned into it like I I at least know what it is now. 900 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,040 And I knew about the concept, but I didn't really know. 901 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:17,510 Yeah, that's basically what it seems like. 902 00:44:17,830 --> 00:44:19,430 So when he told me that I'm like, alright, good. 903 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:22,870 Well, that that must be good. And then I'm like, how do you 904 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:26,510 even find it? So I just googled WFI made, I 905 00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:30,070 think it was WFA and Reddit, and I see this whole page come up. 906 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:35,120 I'm like, what the hell is this? So I click on it and I'm like, 907 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,240 they've got all different shows and all different topics and 908 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,520 clowning on. It's mostly clowning on people 909 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,440 and hating on people. I mean, nobody espouses any sort 910 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,800 of love or affection there. So I'm reading. 911 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,720 I'm like, wow, they really were against me and Sal even more 912 00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:51,400 than I thought, right? And then what do you know? 913 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,120 And this is really life. When they made the decision to 914 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,880 move on from BT and Sal, the tone completely changed on 915 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,880 Reddit. And I'm like, OK, all right, so 916 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,800 that's why you can't take that stuff too serious. 917 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,600 And again, I'd much better. I'd much rather be like than 918 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,520 hate it. I mean, I've always openly 919 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,240 admitted that, but I don't know it. 920 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,040 It's just that one little comment to me is really funny. 921 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,840 But really, I'm still, you know, I'm still inviting you to come 922 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,120 back. But anytime you want a volley 923 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,240 back is the program director. You know, I'm, I'm got, you 924 00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:25,640 know, maybe you've got your own little YouTube channel set up in 925 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,560 mommy's basement. You got your 13 followers and, 926 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,080 you know, maybe we can do a collaboration or something. 927 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,320 Tell you how it's done. Hey, come on, dude. 928 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,920 All right, let me see here what else is going back. 929 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,320 You know this this has popped up a little bit. 930 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,480 We got lying here. We got eleven O 182 Geno back to 931 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,040 The Jets. That would be interesting Yeah, 932 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,520 I know I mean this listen, if just tuning in. 933 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:52,000 This is not a referendum on of hate or trolls as just I kind of 934 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,200 branched off into one of the topics. 935 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:58,000 I started the show a very calamari heavy because we are at 936 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,640 a very important point of the NFL calendar now by the way, we 937 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,320 will find out today and you need to be so I know you know this J 938 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,840 Rob, but you need to be pecking away and hunting all of the 939 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,240 pertinent jets accounts out there NFL accounts because by 940 00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:15,600 4:00 PM Eastern today, the teams need to make the designation as 941 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,680 to whether or not they're going to offer the transition or the 942 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,960 franchise. The franchise tag for Breeze 943 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:27,560 hall is 14.1 or 14.314 point 1. I think the transition tag is 944 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,880 11.3. Obviously if you and they're 945 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,880 going to slap the tag on him, he's not going to walk out the 946 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,080 door. I thought it's I saw something 947 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,920 from Connor Hughes, who I think is great covering The Jets and 948 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,040 some others before I came on the show. 949 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,160 Keep that up there. I'll get to it that it doesn't 950 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,120 look as if they're, even though they're trying that they will 951 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,880 have a deal sold by or set settled upon by 4:00 PM today, 952 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,680 which means they're going to have to slap one of the tags. 953 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,720 Now if you do the franchise tag, it's $3,000,000 more, but it 954 00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,040 gives you a window obviously, I think till July. 955 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,560 I've got it written down somewhere July something where 956 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,840 then you can still work out a long term deal. 957 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,800 But the problem is you've got to carry that number on the cap and 958 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,200 it's it's applied to the monies and The Jets are obviously 959 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,520 trying to build out their roster. 960 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,560 Not that you couldn't do it, but if you do the 14 one, the 961 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,640 franchise, no other team can do it. 962 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,320 That's it. He's a Jet no matter what. 963 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,600 If you do the, I know that some of you, many of you know this, 964 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,040 but if you do the transition, it's more appealing because it's 965 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,200 $3,000,000 less. But then obviously other teams 966 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,360 can come in and, and try to, you know, offer contracts, whatever, 967 00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:35,680 blah, blah, blah. So that that's more of a direct 968 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,400 way the franchise tag to make sure Bruce doesn't leave the 969 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,800 building, which he's not. I always thought that it's funny 970 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,360 based on what it looks like is going to happen. 971 00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,160 That's really the opposite of what I basically thought was 972 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,360 going to happen. I thought one, they would find a 973 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,360 way to find common ground. Ten $11 million long term deal, 974 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,840 30 something guaranteed, you know, very, very team friendly. 975 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,160 Breeze happy, solidify the bag, all good. 976 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,680 And he should because he's very good. 977 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,080 He's very young. He's going to be paid like it's 978 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,520 top five, top 6 running back, the markets changing a bit. 979 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,640 But I, I, I don't think that that's going to happen. 980 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,080 And I thought it was going to be either #1 long term deal #2 981 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,680 transition tag #3 franchise. I'm going to actually flip that 982 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,720 where I think as of where I sit now, you know, just about 983 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,280 whatever it is, I don't know, a couple hours away from the 984 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,240 deadline. I think it's probably more 985 00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:26,200 probable that it would be the franchise tag, then the 986 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,640 transition, then the long term deal. 987 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,400 So we'll see. All right, let's get to this 988 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,960 here. MMM. 989 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,080 Iano. What's up, Mike? 990 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:35,600 Thank you for that, Mike. Very, very nice. 991 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,720 Thank you, dude. Jet should trade for. 992 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,120 Yeah. Yeah, maybe he lives and 993 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,800 breathes football, has it mentally good athleticism, 6325 994 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,720 years old, makes 5,000,000 bucks a year, Use the cap space and 995 00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:51,000 picks to build the team. Yeah, I mean, there's a thank 996 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,320 you for that. Again, thanks for checking in. 997 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,600 Dude. There's a lot of targets out 998 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,720 there, not just for The Jets, for a lot of teams. 999 00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:58,600 I mean, I started this by throwing the Falcons in there, 1000 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,440 the Vikings, The Jets, the Dolphins, all tenuous 1001 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,880 quarterback situations, varying degrees of where they are. 1002 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,720 Vikings are trying to win right away. 1003 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,640 Jets are just trying to elevate the floor. 1004 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,160 Dolphins are, you know, kind of in between Falcons based on 1005 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,160 their talent, they got a lot of talent OR somewhere in between 1006 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,480 and they don't love Penix. Obviously Cousins didn't work 1007 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,680 out. So there's, let me see, 24689. 1008 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,080 There's nine names that I've given you, Willis and summer, 1009 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,800 free agent, summer trades, Willis, Kyler Murray, Kirk 1010 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,760 Cousins, Mariota, Tua, Gino, Davis Mills, Mac Jones, and then 1011 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,560 Tanna McGee. And I, I would love Tanna McGee 1012 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,240 and then maybe Tyrod is the backup and then a quarterback in 1013 00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,680 the draft. These are all the things that 1014 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,480 they've got do and they're not alone because if you don't have 1015 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,200 a quarterback, you are just perpetually hunting one down 1016 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,200 because you can't win without 1. So when I it's funny anytime and 1017 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,280 I think Evan, I think Evan was was. 1018 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,760 I don't want to misrepresent Evan. 1019 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,240 I think Evan was for Kyla Murray. 1020 00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:59,400 I think maybe either way, I was not all right. 1021 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,600 And because I was just thinking of the concept of Kyler Murray, 1022 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,640 he's never going to win you a Super Bowl. 1023 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,320 Now, he will elevate the floor and and I'm good with that. 1024 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,960 But the other thing about Kyler Murray is he's just not all in 1025 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,720 on football. That's the scout report. 1026 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,120 Listen, I'm not in his mansion or his beautiful condo. 1027 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,200 When he gets home for the facility, I don't know what time 1028 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,960 he parks his car and walks into the facility to scour film, but 1029 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,280 everything emanating out of Arizona is that he is kind of 1030 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,640 one of these Hollywood quarterbacks who's half in. 1031 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,880 He's not a real leader. And then he makes in the fact 1032 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,640 that. And now The Jets can absorb 1033 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,040 this, as I chronicle before, very few teams can. 1034 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,040 But he's got a $50 million price tag this year and he's got two 1035 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,360 more year, you know, a lot, a lot more guaranteed money. 1036 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,800 And you know, I gave you the numbers and and that's that's 1037 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,480 that's not that's not good. I can live with that. 1038 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,200 If you're a baller and you're all in and the situation just 1039 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,240 didn't work out. If I know you're a film head and 1040 00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:57,400 you getting in there and your guy who's going to galvanized 1041 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,800 the team in the weight room, on the practice field, in the 1042 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,200 classroom, you know, OTAs and stuff. 1043 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,800 And and maybe Kyler Murray would take a very different approach 1044 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,920 with a new team. I mean, he better otherwise he 1045 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,280 could be out of the league soon. But I am, I'm of a firm belief, 1046 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,920 I'm a staunch believer in this, that your trajectory can change. 1047 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,800 Certainly, I'm talking primarily from the quarterback position. 1048 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:24,640 Your trajectory can radically change whether it was, you know, 1049 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,680 who's a good name to give you. I'm going to try to give you an 1050 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,760 old one here, Rich Gannon. All right, Rich Gannon, I just 1051 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:31,560 want to write down the name Rich. 1052 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,240 I don't want to forget it. Your trajectory can change if 1053 00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:39,360 you are a quarterback who is drafted to a bad spot, right? 1054 00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:44,200 And poor coaching or multiple coaches and multiple GMs and 1055 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,920 different systems, like maybe even if the head coach stays. 1056 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,400 But the first year you've got one system and then the OC gets 1057 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,640 whacked and a new guy comes in and he's got different schemes. 1058 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,080 And you try to, you know, you're trying to learn that if you 1059 00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,080 finally figured out the first one like that swallows up a lot 1060 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,040 of talented players. It just does. 1061 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:07,200 All right, so that is that that is the realness and that is the 1062 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,160 reality of being an NFL quarterback. 1063 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,760 But at the very least, like if you don't have a couple of non 1064 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,720 negotiable traits for me, I just can't have you in my building 1065 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,440 unless there are a ton of vets that you trust and a coach that 1066 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,280 has some winning equity and and stable ownership, you know, and 1067 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,400 AGM has been around the block for a little bit, knows what 1068 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,640 he's doing. Like to if, if Colin Murray's 1069 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,320 not going to get his act together and become a diligent 1070 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,640 pro, and if he hasn't by the age of 28, he's probably not going 1071 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,240 to do it anytime soon, then why would I trust Aaron Glenn, who I 1072 00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:41,480 like and I think could be, I think he's a leader of men, but 1073 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,560 then he's got to win. Then he was awful last year, as 1074 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,480 was the team and Mooji, who's good, but they're all young and 1075 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,000 Woody's a clown. Ownership is horrendous. 1076 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,800 Like is that the best situation? No, I think probably the best 1077 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,120 situation is the Vikings for somebody like Kyla Murray, which 1078 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000 is why the odds on favorite, the betting odds that were just 1079 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,200 released, the Vikings are the number one favorite to get him 1080 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,680 and The Jets are #2 and there's a few other teams out there, so 1081 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,160 I don't know that just to finish that Rich Gannon thought. 1082 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,880 Rich Gannon. Hey, J Rod, do me a favor, bud. 1083 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,840 Yeah, what's up? Type up Rich Gannon stats. 1084 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,880 All right. You ever hear Rich Cannon? 1085 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,400 It's a long time ago. If you didn't, it's not a big 1086 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,120 deal. Don't worry about it. 1087 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,760 You ever hear Rich? OK, it's all good. 1088 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,720 He's not even really doing TV anymore. 1089 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:28,080 So I, I I'm not surprised you don't know him. 1090 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,760 It's all good. Rich GAT Rich Gatham was a 1091 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,320 quarterback who can run, who could throw and who bounced 1092 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,680 around early. And I just want you to pull up 1093 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,280 the names or the teams that he played. 1094 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,480 I know he was on the Raiders at the end. 1095 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,520 Obviously, then that's going to lead to my point. 1096 00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:44,080 So Vikings, Chiefs, Vikings, right. 1097 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,400 No, keep going. Was that it? 1098 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,240 Chiefs, Washington or Vikings? Washington. 1099 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,480 Chiefs, Oakland. Yeah, when they were still in 1100 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:56,120 Oakland. OK. 1101 00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:59,000 How many years take out the Raiders in that equation, right. 1102 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,480 How many years for those other three teams you mentioned, how 1103 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,480 many years of that encompass 8910? 1104 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,560 Something like that played a long time, 10. 1105 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,680 Yeah, OK. 10 years Now this is also cherry picking an example 1106 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,000 to the contrary because there's a lot of examples that aren't as 1107 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,880 rewarding as as Rich Cannon. 10 years, A very transient, very 1108 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,960 nomadic NFL quarterback existence bouncing around, 1109 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,840 Couldn't stick a little start here, a little back up there 1110 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,080 trying to grind. Like if you look at that, it's 1111 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,720 not like he started all those years. 1112 00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:34,920 He really was a backup in a lot of those situations. 1113 00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:39,560 He goes to the Raiders and I believe in 9019. 1114 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,520 Hold on. No, no, no. 1115 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,240 I believe Rich Gannon in 2002 was the league MVP. 1116 00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:48,000 Can you verify that for me and then give me his stats in O2 1117 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,560 with the then Oakland Raiders? I know he won the MVP. 1118 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,440 I thought it was O2 and I'm pretty sure he was like 37 or 38 1119 00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,240 years old as you look for that. He was definitely old pulling it 1120 00:55:00,240 --> 00:55:03,240 up. Let's see, I don't have his age. 1121 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,360 OK, well let's see. He was born in 1965. 1122 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,400 S in 2002 he would have been what is that, 3780? 1123 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:16,080 59537 like I said, yeah, 3738 right and and what were you when 1124 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,360 did he win the MVP? Was it O2? 1125 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,600 I want to make sure that I'm on there. 1126 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,720 It gets lost to them in the playoffs and I'm pretty sure it 1127 00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:26,480 was O2 either way, he won the by the way, just the best way to do 1128 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,800 this. Proreference.com not now it's 1129 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,680 it's all good. I'm I'm I'm in the neighborhood 1130 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,120 enough go to proreference.com. You'll see the age you'll see 1131 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,720 the team. And if you go to the far right, 1132 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,800 it'll have awards like, you know, MVP Pro Bowl and then 1133 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,680 anything in bowl led the league, all that stuff. 1134 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,840 So let so as I finish my thought, if you could find it, 1135 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,240 let me just finish my thought. Rich Gannon while he bounced 1136 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,600 around and again, very transient couldn't stick. 1137 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:53,960 No, no, no traction. The reason why Rich Gannon was 1138 00:55:53,960 --> 00:56:04,360 able to pop and win the NB. Raiders at that point, Porter 1139 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,040 was there. They had a good run game, they 1140 00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,840 had a good defense and they lost in the Super Bowl, right? 1141 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,800 So there's a reason why somebody like Rich Gannon was doing TV 1142 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,920 for CBS for a long time, because he was a a film guy. 1143 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,920 He was in the trenches. His intellect was through the 1144 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,320 roof there. There's a reason why Rich Gannon 1145 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:28,800 kept getting start chances around the NFL, and that seems 1146 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,320 to be counter to what Kyler Murray is. 1147 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,360 Doesn't seem like he loves watching film. 1148 00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:36,240 You know, if it doesn't work out, wherever he goes next, 1149 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,680 because he's still pretty young, he'll get one more shot. 1150 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,600 But he's not. If this doesn't pick up soon, 1151 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,200 he's not going to be playing football at the age of 37 like 1152 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,960 Rich was, and he's certainly not going to win the MVP at the age 1153 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,360 of 37 or 38 like Rich Gannon did. 1154 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:53,320 I can promise you that. So. 2002 MVP, 67% completion 1155 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,200 percentage, 26 touchdowns, 4700 yards and. 1156 00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,960 Also a runner. Rich Gannon could beat you with 1157 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,800 his wheels too. Rich was a very good athlete. 1158 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,480 So ideally you try to find somebody like that. 1159 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,400 Now, I'll give you an example of somebody who wasn't quite as 1160 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:11,000 talented but at a a kind of similar trajectory. 1161 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,280 That's Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was rented out of Harvard and 1162 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,800 started in camp with the Bengals, if I recollect. 1163 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,600 Yeah, I think it was the Bengals, Right. 1164 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,480 And then obviously, the Bills wound up giving him some money, 1165 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,680 didn't work out, bounced around a little bit and wound up coming 1166 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,280 to The Jets. And even though The Jets didn't 1167 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,000 make the playoffs that year in 2015 with Todd Bowles, he broke 1168 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:36,040 Vinnie's touchdown records, you know, for season. 1169 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,120 And he was a really good player because he was smart and because 1170 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,200 he loved film. And there's a reason why he's on 1171 00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:45,200 prime now doing TV commentary talking about the NFL because he 1172 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,120 is a student of the game. Kyler Murray doesn't seem to be 1173 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,480 that incredibly problematic now. So, all right, well, you know, 1174 00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,840 if if you don't want to trade for Kyler Murray and the way 1175 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,880 that I would if you missed it, very brief reset because I want 1176 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,360 to get to Kirk Cousins as well for some of these other teams. 1177 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,080 The way that you do that is you entice the Cardinals to trade 1178 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,400 him by giving you a draft pick. Yo, Arizona. 1179 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:08,760 Yeah, it's Boojie. What's going on, man? 1180 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,320 Hey, we'll take Kyler off your hands. 1181 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,600 Yeah, well, 50 million next year. 1182 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,000 We could absorb it. We got plenty of money. 1183 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,960 We're good. We need a third round pick to 1184 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,000 make it happen. You've got to give us a decent 1185 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,520 draft pick, otherwise we're not interested. 1186 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,120 Hey, we can't give you a draft pick. 1187 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,480 Click. All right, go figure out your 1188 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:22,720 finances yourself. Have fun. 1189 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,360 You're not going to do it like you're going to have to release 1190 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,400 him and then you're going to have to spread the cap over a 1191 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,560 couple of years that I and by the way, I do think he's going 1192 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,280 to be released. I don't think anybody's going to 1193 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,840 trade for him, but only because The Jets have all that money. 1194 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,400 It's at least interesting enough to give the Cardinals something 1195 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,840 to think about. You know, and to me, you know, 1196 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,360 you think about like the the framework of a deal, the art of 1197 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,000 a deal, getting people to think and then eventually do something 1198 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,040 that they might not be inclined to do. 1199 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,440 You've just got to be ultra creative. 1200 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,040 And the easy thing is to sit around and wait for somebody to 1201 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,720 get cut. I mean, anybody could do that. 1202 00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,960 I could do that. All right, you got cut. 1203 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,680 Now pick them up, get better and minimum. 1204 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,600 All right, sure, that's easy. Put them in there. 1205 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,800 We've got a quarterback. But I think the more proactive, 1206 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:13,240 more compelling way to attack any of the any of these moves is 1207 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,000 to be a forward thinker. And I wonder if Mooji or anybody 1208 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,920 else is thinking about that. Now I'm going to give you 1209 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:24,520 another name, and every time I hear it, I'm like God, because 1210 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:29,160 it just represents blah, all right? 1211 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,040 It's Kirk Cousins. Now. 1212 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:40,720 Kirk Cousins to me would be on the cheap, pretty, and I hate to 1213 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,920 say it because I don't want to watch Kirk Cousins play football 1214 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,520 this year. To me, he would be a perfect get 1215 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,040 for The Jets. Now, maybe not more than Tanner 1216 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,280 McGee because there's upside and he's cheap, all right. 1217 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,920 But if you get Tanner McGee and he can't play, even though he 1218 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,200 looks like he could play with the Eagles. 1219 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,800 But then again, that's the Eagles and we're talking about 1220 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,640 The Jets, you know, or trade for Mac Jones, which I'd also be 1221 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,920 very amenable to. Gino doesn't do it for me. 1222 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,280 Tua doesn't do it to it in cold weather. 2 with that weak pop 1223 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,680 gun arm. No thank you, Mariota. 1224 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,280 He's going to be on the table because he's going to be cheap 1225 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,880 and he's a good veteran like Kirk Cousins. 1226 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,800 But at least the cell job with Kirk Cousins would be this from 1227 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:25,040 a Jets point of view. Not for the Vikings maybe, but I 1228 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,920 don't think the I think the Viking, I think the Miami 1229 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:31,880 Dolphins are thinking more bold. Maybe for the Browns to help 1230 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,680 Shidor Sanders out a little bit, but really for The Jets is 1231 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,280 because of the bare minimum, you know that Kirk Cousins is going 1232 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,880 to raise the floor and you know, is he going to raise it by 7 or 1233 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:43,600 eight wins? No. 1234 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,880 Are The Jets going to be a playoff team? 1235 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,120 No. I mean, unless they had this 1236 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,080 ridiculous all time draft and everybody pops whatever and like 1237 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,000 everything they do in free agency is magic. 1238 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,320 And who knows? But the likelihood of that 1239 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:57,160 happening, not very high. But what Kirk Cousins does and 1240 01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,680 they are in they are in dire need of this. 1241 01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:04,280 They sorely need this. They just need an adult to come 1242 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,000 into the building, understand the playbook, which you'll do in 1243 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,440 a minute, be able to express that to the teammates, see like 1244 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,600 1 to his teammates. One thing, it's one thing to 1245 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,560 have really good coaching, but the most effective leadership 1246 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,760 comes from within. You know, that's why a guy like 1247 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,720 Ryan Fitzpatrick, who I mentioned before, proved to be a 1248 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,840 very viable quarterback around the NFL and and guarded respect 1249 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,360 everywhere he went because number 1, he knew the playbook 1250 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,600 inside and out and, and, and and the guys knew that. 1251 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,120 And you know, he wasn't afraid to put his pants down and and 1252 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,880 take a hit and, you know, first down, get absolutely crushed by 1253 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,080 a linebacker, a safety coming up in the box. 1254 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,960 And that resonates with with guys. 1255 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,920 All right, it does. There's an energy there. 1256 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,320 Now Kirk has a different energy. He's not going to run around 1257 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:51,800 like that. Can't move at all really. 1258 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,880 And in a lot of ways he's more prototypical for Frank Ryan, who 1259 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,720 wants that big body pocket passer. 1260 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:00,720 So there's a fit scheme wise and the moment, especially if The 1261 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,800 Jets were to draft like Makai Lemon 16 or another receiver, 1262 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,600 16-GO defensive 2 or even defensive, they trade out of the 1263 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,040 two spot. They're going defense with that 1264 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,080 first pick no matter what. Book it that's done. 1265 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,600 And then, you know, 16, they could go receiver if you have 1266 01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:19,880 Kirk Cousins on the practice field daily, right, with Garrett 1267 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,840 Wilson, who's the pro's pro anyway. 1268 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,760 I mean, think about what he's done with the mess of 1269 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,840 quarterback play that he's been subjected to. 1270 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,640 What a shame. I mean, could you get the guy 1271 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,560 quarterback? Jeez, what would his numbers be 1272 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,080 if he actually had somebody who could throw the ball right? 1273 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:39,760 But if you have a veteran, a stable force like Kirk and it's 1274 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,200 Garrett and it's breeze hole who will definitely be back and it's 1275 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,880 a young rookie drafted inside the top 20 and it's, you know, 1276 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,080 Mitchell who they who they brought in. 1277 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,080 You know, there there's, there's, there's there's ways to 1278 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,360 look at this and say, OK, now we can at least at least get a 1279 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,920 little momentum and at least get the wheels turning a little bit 1280 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,640 to go from a laughingstock and an absolute joke, all right to 1281 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:09,200 at least a representative team and a functional locker room and 1282 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,360 A and a building that is healthier and more energized and 1283 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,120 more buttoned up and more intelligent and all those 1284 01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,880 things. So as much again, I'm not going 1285 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,080 to be excited like I was when The Jets got at Rogers. 1286 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,360 I mean that was that was different. 1287 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,000 Now that was euphoria. Even though it didn't work out. 1288 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,920 I would understand and I would accept Kirk Cousins and you know 1289 01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,680 I'd be excited about will this Murray only if you get some 1290 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,840 trade value back where you get him for a couple of mil on the 1291 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,840 veteran cheap right Cousins. I just explained Mariota's in 1292 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,400 play. Want no part of to not really 1293 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,480 down with a Geno reunion. Davis Mills OK, OK, kind of 1294 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,720 interested. Mac Jones, I would trade for him 1295 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,320 depending upon what the Niners want back. 1296 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,200 And I've already touched on Tana McGee. 1297 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,760 Armand is amazing. What's up, Armand, would you 1298 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,280 trade a second round pick for Tana McGee? 1299 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,120 No way. I'm not giving up a second round 1300 01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,320 pick. Zach Rosenblatt put out an 1301 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,440 article that a quarterback like McGee that The Jets would have 1302 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,880 to trade for will cost a premium pick. 1303 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,320 I'm not giving up a second round pick. 1304 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:06,400 What? Why would you do that? 1305 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:10,440 No, you don't do that. I mean, you want to tell me it 1306 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,360 becomes a conditional second round pick that starts as a You 1307 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,920 probably don't get him as a fourth round or so. 1308 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,480 It might have to be 1/3, and I don't think The Jets have a 1309 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,480 third round there this year. So they have to tap into some 1310 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:22,960 other stuff and Mooji can make that happen. 1311 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,480 I'm not worried about that. Like logistically and the 1312 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,240 dynamics of of making that happen. 1313 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,520 He'll figure it out. Would I give up a third that 1314 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,720 becomes a 2 with performance or playing time? 1315 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,520 Yeah, I'd be open to that, to that. 1316 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:38,040 Sure, there's intrigue with Tana McGee, but like just to give up 1317 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:42,720 a set the top of the second round pick with no built in, you 1318 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,440 know, benchmarks or no way, I'm not doing that now. 1319 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,080 I'm not taking a shot at Zack's reporting. 1320 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,440 I'm just saying I wouldn't do it. 1321 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,240 No, no. And if other teams are willing 1322 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,120 to do that, well, then good for them. 1323 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,560 There's also a part of me that wants to say, I'm going to stop 1324 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,560 short of saying this, but wants to kind of say, man, if The Jets 1325 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,680 value him enough where they would do that, maybe I've got to 1326 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,640 dial back the resistance there. That just seems inordinately 1327 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,000 high for somebody who hasn't done a whole lot. 1328 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,760 Second round pick, man, Come on. All right, let me get let me get 1329 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,440 Smith Jones, 6898. All right, Tennessee Titans fan 1330 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,520 here. What about another? 1331 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,320 What about another trade? Brandon Will Levis for some 1332 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,720 competition to quarterback? His days in Tennessee are over. 1333 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,480 All right, let me ask you this. I know that they're over. 1334 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:28,760 He was in. He was a very appealing 1335 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,600 prospect. I watched him in Kentucky a few 1336 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,360 times. He's got some energies. 1337 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,240 He's always got a little bit of, I don't know, he's got a little 1338 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:37,480 Jackson dart there. I don't know. 1339 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,280 It's just the way he looks or the way he presents himself. 1340 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,400 But I know he's got a big arm. I know he's a pretty good 1341 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,400 athlete. Didn't work, went sideways. 1342 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,560 Yeah, I mean, I guess, but I've got to have something more 1343 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,200 stable. Like I can't have Will Levis and 1344 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:57,120 I and Tyrod Taylor and then some other early ish, you know, draft 1345 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,480 dart kind of hit the board and say, all right, let's make that 1346 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,040 our quarterback room. Because where are you really 1347 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,480 going from that? If, if, if you were to do you 1348 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,600 like, you've got to structure this in a way that makes sense 1349 01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,560 where if you draft somebody's getting reps like you got at 1350 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,760 least look at that. And if you were to trade for 1351 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,600 Will Levis and then draft somebody and then have somebody 1352 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,080 like Tyrod Taylor, you have to have a veteran there because you 1353 01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,840 can't have three kids or three. You know, Levis wasn't done a 1354 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,640 damn thing in the NFLI Know we started a lot, but and I, I saw 1355 01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,960 him in person. I, I did a trip The Jets Titans 1356 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,640 and The Jets won that game. It was actually pretty cool. 1357 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:39,160 And you just can't have like Levis and I don't know, Brady 1358 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,480 Cook and then drafting somebody that's that's not going to work 1359 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,160 out. J Rod, are you into I think that 1360 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,920 I know the answer already here, everybody. 1361 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,920 BT Unleashed fam, are you into the WBC at all? 1362 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,200 WBC No. Not, not, won't be I. 1363 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,680 Mean, I can't. I mean, I can tell you I'm 1364 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,080 definitely going to be watching this year, OK? 1365 01:06:58,600 --> 01:06:59,960 Yeah. I mean, I would not be. 1366 01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:01,880 I got some homework to do. I got some research. 1367 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:03,840 I'm going to be locked in. Yeah. 1368 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:05,200 Have you? Ever watched before? 1369 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:06,080 No, I. Don't believe. 1370 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:11,000 I mean, not one pitch with my brother potentially back in the 1371 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,000 day. Yeah, your brother. 1372 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,200 Played baseball, right? Yeah. 1373 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,160 Yeah, he played in high school. Little, I mean JV in high 1374 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,000 school, I think. Yeah, senior year. 1375 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,600 I got you. JV is a senior. 1376 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:24,440 That's a rough look right there. I. 1377 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:25,760 Play, though, I'm trying to think. 1378 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:26,720 I got you. I got you. 1379 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,040 So the I'm excited for it. I'm excited. 1380 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:31,440 I'm not going over the top nuts here. 1381 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,320 I'm excited for it. I was messing around with a 1382 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,240 potential line up here. So it's starting up. 1383 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:37,920 Obviously. I think it starts tomorrow. 1384 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,840 Some teams play tomorrow. I know we play Brazil Friday 1385 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,880 night at 8 and that's going to be on Fox. 1386 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,160 It's national game. And obviously if you're a Yankee 1387 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,600 fan, Judge the captain. I saw the video yesterday, Judge 1388 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:49,840 talking to the team. Pretty cool. 1389 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,680 I've got a little lineup for you here. 1390 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:53,360 Yeah. Listen, I don't know what 1391 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:54,760 they're going to do. It's going to what they're going 1392 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,280 to do. It's going to be some variation 1393 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,480 of this, you would imagine. How about how about we got Witt 1394 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,880 playing short Batten first, Schwarber batting second play in 1395 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,840 DH, Aaron judging the three spot play in right field, Bryce 1396 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,160 Harper first Batten 4th, Cal roller. 1397 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,040 You can even flip that if you want to do that. 1398 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,400 Cal roller behind the plate batting 5. 1399 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,840 You got the Roman Anthony, who's a stud left field batting 6, 1400 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,720 Bregman in the seven hole playing third P Crow Armstrong 1401 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,600 center field batting 8 and then Bryce Tarang second base bat 1402 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,760 9th. Now the only thing, and I get 1403 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,319 it, I do this is not me knocking them. 1404 01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:28,080 It's not pushback. But this is kind of one of the 1405 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,319 issues with the WBC and we should handle Brazil fairly 1406 01:08:31,319 --> 01:08:34,359 easily. And you know, I'm I'm hoping for 1407 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,960 I'm hoping for the hole. I want to I want to see I want 1408 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:38,000 to see us win this. Yes, ma'am. 1409 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,920 Usually I kind of jump in just to watch all the great players. 1410 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,520 I I love watch. I said this yesterday. 1411 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,279 I'm not going to go much into, but I love watching the DRI, 1412 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,279 love watching Puerto Rico. I love watching Japan. 1413 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,399 All the Japanese players seem to have the same approach, like 1414 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,880 very similar stances and you know, they almost look like 1415 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,760 they're a lot of the same. I don't think they're a carbon 1416 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,000 copy of each other. The problem though, now we got 1417 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,960 schemes. You got Logan Webb, you got Ryan 1418 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,560 Yarborough and you got school. But school is only making the 1419 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,640 one start and that's going to be early. 1420 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,680 I don't know if he's pitching against Brazil, but like United 1421 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,120 States advances, he's checking out. 1422 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,439 He's going back down to Lakeland to get with the Tigers, which I 1423 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:17,720 get. I understand that. 1424 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,399 You know, he's got a lot of money coming his way. 1425 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,240 He won his arbitration 30 something, $1,000,000. 1426 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,920 How offensive was that? He was asking for 32 and the 1427 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,279 Tiger said, no, we'll give you 19 for Tirich school. 1428 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,240 I mean, I mean, how dumb are you? 1429 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,479 If anything, you got to bite the bullet. 1430 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,960 You got to give him a lot more than that to at least give 1431 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,520 yourself a chance to. And they're not going to resign 1432 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:39,760 him. He's not. 1433 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,040 He's going to be with the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Mets 1434 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,479 or the field. I think the Phillies will make a 1435 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,399 big move as well. And Toronto maybe like those are 1436 01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,200 the five teams. But he's going to leave Detroit. 1437 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,200 And now you have to think he's definitely going to leave 1438 01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,800 because the way these arbitration cases go, you know, 1439 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,240 you don't really fixate on what you do. 1440 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,760 Well, as crazy as this sounds, you sit down, you got the 1441 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,800 arbiter, you know, you got school bull, you got his Rep, 1442 01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,160 you got the Tigers, blah, blah, blah. 1443 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,120 And then the arbiter sitting there and you're hearing both 1444 01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,040 sides. We deserve this, we want this. 1445 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,320 He's done this, of course. Come on then, you got the 1446 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,840 tigers, The tigers actually in their prison and this, it's 1447 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,320 just, it's unfortunate and people hate arbitration for this 1448 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,080 reason. You are at a table, almost like 1449 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,160 a deposition. You're at a table and you're 1450 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,360 sitting there and you're listening to your employer 1451 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,760 telling the orbiter, and you by extension, why you don't deserve 1452 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,160 the money you're asking for because of your deficiencies. 1453 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,440 What deficiencies could they possibly illuminate with Tarek 1454 01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:38,880 School? Can somebody tell me that what 1455 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:39,960 they are? What? 1456 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:41,600 You're too young. You haven't proven it yet. 1457 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,360 You got an injury history. He's healthy as a horse. 1458 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,880 Knock on wood, he's a stud back-to-back. 1459 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,040 Cy Youngs, one of the most dot like when you watch Tarek school 1460 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,200 pitch. And I don't want to be a 1461 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:55,920 prisoner of the moment here, but, you know, I know my 1462 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,800 baseball history. I mean, is it really that 1463 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,680 different? And I don't mean the 1464 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,560 presentation or the stature or the body type or the wind up. 1465 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,480 I'm talking about the results when you watch school ball 1466 01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:09,160 pitch, right? Is it really that different than 1467 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,200 watching Randy Johnson pitch or Pedro pitch? 1468 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,960 Is it or young Clayton Kershaw, who's also on Team USA was very 1469 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,080 cool? The answer is no. 1470 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:24,360 Or a young Clemens or, you know, a young good in, you know, I 1471 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,640 didn't see pitch a Seaver pitch, but I mean any, any luminary, 1472 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:32,240 Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Walter Johnson, Cy Young, like what 1473 01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,040 this dude is doing, what he's cooking up. 1474 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,600 He's cooking up that. So to sit in a room like that 1475 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:41,440 would infuriate me to the point where, and I understand it's the 1476 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:45,160 process and I understand, you know, pre ARB and ARB and 1477 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,960 eligible for this and here you go, all right, you know, 1478 01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,720 eligible for free agency this year. 1479 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,280 Like I know how it works and that's the way it was 1480 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,240 collectively bargained. And until it changes, you got to 1481 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:56,800 play by the rules. But there are certain 1482 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,400 exceptions, man. Like the Tigers really should 1483 01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,600 have came in and said, all right, you want 32, start at 25 1484 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,760 and start at 25. At least you're not pissing them 1485 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,000 off. Because if he, I don't, I don't 1486 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,040 know if he loves Detroit. I, I don't know, I don't know 1487 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,840 how we've used their team long term. 1488 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:15,960 You know, they did a couple of little things during the 1489 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,800 offseason, but it's not like they went out and just, you 1490 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,280 know, manned up and said, all right, they're to themselves, 1491 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,040 all right. There's a good chance that, you 1492 01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,000 know, if we don't get to a World Series or at least get to the 1493 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,320 American League Championship Series, he's going to start 1494 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,520 processing his legacy, all right? 1495 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,200 Because you know, he's going to get paid. 1496 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,040 What's he going to get, 4550 a year, 400 million, What's he 1497 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:37,960 going to get right? I know Cohen's coming. 1498 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,600 I like to say that. I'd like to say that Hal's 1499 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,400 coming. I don't really think he is. 1500 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,360 I know the Dodgers are coming with that. 1501 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,000 I believe the Phillies would come with that. 1502 01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,680 So he's at a point now where, all right, he won it. 1503 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,040 So he's making 30 million this year. 1504 01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,640 He's made decent money up until this point. 1505 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,600 But now he's got to start looking ahead and saying, all 1506 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,200 right, where am I going to win? Because that is now a bribe, a 1507 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,120 byproduct of all the conversations. 1508 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:04,680 And it's sad I didn't hear the word legacy once in my lifetime 1509 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:09,000 growing up and I I don't even really know the origin of it, 1510 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,000 quite frankly. Like I wasn't walking around as 1511 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,720 a kid, you know, in the street or in the schoolyard. 1512 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:17,520 Hey, Parcells doesn't win another one. 1513 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,320 No, it can't be. It can't be considered an all 1514 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,040 time great, You know, just didn't think that way. 1515 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,200 I didn't I didn't even think like, you know, my all time 1516 01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,680 favorite player is Don Mattingly in any sport, all time by a 1517 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:33,280 mile, Donnie Baseball forever. I wasn't watching him in 84 with 1518 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:37,520 the bad in title and 85 with the MVP and 86 when he finished 1519 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,200 second to Clemens and the MVP got hosed and all the things he 1520 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,080 did in his five or six year window where he was basically a 1521 01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,240 basically a modern stand mutual. I was watching him in awe. 1522 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,840 I wasn't watching him saying, oh God, it Donnie doesn't get to 1523 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,280 the there was no wild card back then until when he finally made 1524 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,840 it 95 and hit 417 against Seattle. 1525 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,080 I wasn't sitting there once. It never once permeated my 1526 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,640 thought or my conversations. God, if Donny doesn't get to the 1527 01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:06,000 playoffs here, or if Donny doesn't win a World Series, he 1528 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,600 can never be looked at before he got hurt as a Mantle or a Gehrig 1529 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:13,280 or a Ruth or a DiMaggio or a Yogi or any of those other great 1530 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,000 luminaries. I just didn't look at it that 1531 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,680 way. I didn't. 1532 01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:22,520 And it's, it's really, it's become very lazy is what it's 1533 01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,760 become. I don't know where it started. 1534 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,560 I've got a few. I've got a few guesses. 1535 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,320 I definitely think the LeBron MJ thing is huge. 1536 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:32,720 That's that. There's no question about that 1537 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,920 now it's also the easiest conversation to have MJ by a 1538 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,840 mile. Next topic I think maybe not 1539 01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,560 maybe I also think it's funny we hit a little bit of golf 1540 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,840 yesterday and I told you you're gonna get a lot of good golf 1541 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,720 coverage. I don't I don't mean the the 1542 01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,280 fairly the fairly benign week to week tournaments. 1543 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:52,160 I'm talking about masters time, Open Championship, U.S. 1544 01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,080 Open, Ryder Cup. You're getting it on this 1545 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,080 channel. I love golf, I play golf, I 1546 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:59,240 stink, but I I know golf and I consume golf. 1547 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,600 I love golf, right, So you definitely to get that. 1548 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,960 But and I remember when Tiger was just obliterating the record 1549 01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:09,000 book you started getting, you know, maybe it was maybe it was 1550 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,880 even before LeBron, now that I think about it, and it's not 1551 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,160 LeBron, even though I, you know, I, I shaved LeBron here and 1552 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,560 there for for different reasons. It's not Lebron's fault that he 1553 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,280 didn't start the GOAT conversation. 1554 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,680 I don't I don't know who the hell started it. 1555 01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,120 But now that I traced back, I mean, think about when Tiger was 1556 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:28,520 just reducing, you know, Augusta and all these various venues 1557 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:32,520 across the world, just knocking them to its knees and just, you 1558 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:36,560 know, shooting -15 and obliterating a field that had 1559 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:41,400 David Duvall and, and obviously Mickelson and DJ Singh and Jimmy 1560 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,400 Furyk and all these great golfers back then. 1561 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:50,120 You did maybe the origin was Jack and and Tiger Woods because 1562 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:56,000 we weren't talking about Michael and LeBron back in in the late 1563 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,560 90s because LeBron was still in high school in the late 90s. 1564 01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:02,720 So maybe that's what it is. But that's kind of become part 1565 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:06,240 of it as well. And I don't know to what extent. 1566 01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,040 I don't know to what degree these athletes really factor in 1567 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,720 their ability to eventually win a championship. 1568 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,640 I I don't, I don't know, but I could promise you this that it's 1569 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,680 more than it ever was. You know what I mean? 1570 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:23,400 J Rod So you're a lot younger than me and your world, your 1571 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,640 world really has never been without these these legacies and 1572 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,960 these conversations. That's all you kind of know, 1573 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:31,840 right? I mean. 1574 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,920 At least for me, yeah, Like the whole sports world thing, it's 1575 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,720 less surrounded by the actual moments themselves and more 1576 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,960 about like the hypotheticals of will this player do this? 1577 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,720 Will they reach this peak rather than really appreciating, OK, 1578 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,080 what are they doing now and how does that reflect upon other 1579 01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,960 people rather than this comparison of what they haven't 1580 01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,280 done compared to what people in the past have done? 1581 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,360 Also real. Quick, Yeah. 1582 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,040 My brother just freaked out at me on the phone. 1583 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,360 He was on varsity, all right? He was on varsity, yeah. 1584 01:17:02,480 --> 01:17:03,960 You go as a. Senior. 1585 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, All right, yeah. 1586 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,080 He he was on JV as a sophomore, junior, senior, he was on. 1587 01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:10,640 Varsity. Yeah. 1588 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:11,600 I mean, how do you not know that? 1589 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,000 Come on, Jay. You got to represent your. 1590 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:14,960 Come on man. I know, yeah. 1591 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,480 I mean. That listen there's and I'm not 1592 01:17:16,480 --> 01:17:19,160 listen baseball's hard I mean, if anybody knows that it's me. 1593 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,160 Baseball is hard to play hard to be great at baseball. 1594 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,920 It's very hard to be consistent of baseball, but at the risk of 1595 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,800 sounding like that guy, I mean, if you're, I don't even know if 1596 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,240 you're allowed on JV as a senior and if you are a senior and 1597 01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,800 you're on JV, that's a rough look, man. 1598 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:36,720 I mean, it's probably time to pack it up and do something. 1599 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,600 Join the band, you know, go have some fun, enjoy senior week, you 1600 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,960 know, go and visit colleges like, but go on spring break, 1601 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,920 you know, did you go on spring break when you were in high? 1602 01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:52,600 Not in high school, no COVID. Yeah, no, my senior year I did 1603 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:53,800 nothing. I didn't do that. 1604 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,080 I mean so your. Senior year, you learned visual 1605 01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,160 virtually the entire year. Yeah. 1606 01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:02,040 And So what was? Crazy is for my school this wow 1607 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,040 I don't know if the other grades did this. 1608 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:09,040 My seniors, all our classes were asynchronous. 1609 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,640 We didn't even do zoom learning. We jump. 1610 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,640 We did like all asynchronous classes. 1611 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:18,560 So they would like send you for the week what like quizzes or 1612 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,520 what assignments you had to do for the week. 1613 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,480 You just had to finish it by the end of the week and that was it. 1614 01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,400 What you didn't? Speak to a teacher Once you 1615 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,520 didn't speak to another student, you literally filled out 1616 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:32,560 assignments. Sentiment done. 1617 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,840 That is, that is depressing. That's that's horrible, man. 1618 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,880 Did you have a senior prom? No, I didn't. 1619 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,640 Even have a graduation we we, we drove through we drove through 1620 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,360 in a car I stood on us I mean, and it was a little fun looking 1621 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,040 back on it, you know, just because it was different. 1622 01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,080 But yeah, my mom, my dad, my brother, maybe my dog. 1623 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,920 We we were in the car. We. 1624 01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,600 Drove. Up to the stage, I got out, you 1625 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:03,200 know, I probably had like my sneakers on or whatever. 1626 01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,120 Had like the gown on, took the picture, got back in the car, 1627 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,840 left that. Is I know you, you made the you 1628 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,760 made the most of it, man. Nothing you could do. 1629 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,520 But that is utterly depressing. So we do have something in 1630 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,360 common here, J Rod, right? Yeah. 1631 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,760 So you you didn't go to your prom because you didn't have one 1632 01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,840 because COVID wiped it out. I didn't go to my prom because I 1633 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,640 was banned for my prom. What'd you do? 1634 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:27,960 Yeah, it's a story for another day. 1635 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:29,880 You're gonna have to say that. That's say that one. 1636 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:31,960 I'm very curious that's. True. 1637 01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,120 Now I went to some other problems because the the 1638 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,520 Catholic school girls like I got asked to go to a few of their 1639 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,280 problems. Sure I was not allowed to go to 1640 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:41,360 my prom. Oh. 1641 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,120 Man, that's whatever, man. I. 1642 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:44,600 Went to the after parties. Who cares? 1643 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,160 Yeah. Wait, I'm seeing some. 1644 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:48,920 I'm seeing that. Yeah. 1645 01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,400 Breaking news, Breece Hall got a franchise tag. 1646 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:53,920 Franchise. OK, that's what I thought. 1647 01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:56,160 Yeah, well, you couldn't wait to do that. 1648 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,240 Let me hear that again. Let's go. 1649 01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:58,280 It's not. A great sound. 1650 01:19:58,280 --> 01:19:59,640 That's the thing, you can't really. 1651 01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:06,200 Hear it dude, that's a no. Wait, give me both. 1652 01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:07,720 Boom boom, back-to-back. Ready. 1653 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:12,080 Here's the first It's like we eat stone cold. 1654 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:16,720 That's it 100% right. There you go good. 1655 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,840 All right, so Breeze gets the the franchise, not the 1656 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:23,240 transition. And that's what I surmised. 1657 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,640 I just did that 10 minutes ago. And now it'll have until July to 1658 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,640 figure this out. So it's $14.1 million, but 1659 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,560 they're going to have to carry that on the books for the cap 1660 01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,360 until they resolve it. So all right, extend the window, 1661 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,440 no doubt. Never doubt Breeze would be 1662 01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:39,960 back. He is good for Breeze and good 1663 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,640 for The Jets. All right, so let let me 1664 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,960 investigate something else here. So now how did you go and visit 1665 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,240 colleges so. So, yeah, that was what was 1666 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:53,320 strange is it was such a weird period where like, you know, the 1667 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:56,400 true 'cause I still went to Syracuse on time. 1668 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,720 We still had a couple in person classes when I was there later 1669 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,160 2020. And then I visited colleges that 1670 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:07,440 time right before COVID in that like September to November 1671 01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:11,080 period of 2019. So that was kind of when I, you 1672 01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:15,440 know, visit colleges, then whatever, February, March, you 1673 01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:19,120 know that, yeah, June, July came along. 1674 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,280 But then of August, we were kind of, you know, it was a little 1675 01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:22,920 better. Went back to school. 1676 01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:26,000 Let me ask you this. So I I know how you got the work 1677 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,600 and yet you could do it all in one day and then just chill. 1678 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,640 Or you could just, you know, spread it out, which is probably 1679 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,880 what you did. But what did you do every day? 1680 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,240 So you're obviously your parents home. 1681 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,200 Did you ever see a friend? Oh, yeah, Yeah. 1682 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,360 So. I'm like a small town kid, so 1683 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,200 it's like it really, you know, they were like. 1684 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,680 Screw COVID with the whatever we want. 1685 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,200 Exactly. Like me and my, I mean, you 1686 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,360 know, me and my boys kind of just chilled. 1687 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,600 Like obviously I think, you know, for that first week, we, I 1688 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,800 think my friend might have been the first dude in America who 1689 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,480 had COVID. It was like that first week. 1690 01:21:54,480 --> 01:21:55,680 Yeah. It was like that first week of 1691 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,800 March and this dude was out. Did you ever get it? 1692 01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:02,080 Yeah, yeah, couple, couple times, but never symptomatic. 1693 01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:03,800 Yeah. Yeah, me too, basically, you 1694 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,400 know, go ahead. Did you have something else, 1695 01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:06,320 guys? Because I'm one of those guys. 1696 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,200 So I mean, what we would do all day, I mean, play video games, 1697 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:13,040 hang out, you know, have like a bonfire, whatever else. 1698 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:14,680 Oh, OK. See, we were still. 1699 01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:17,640 I feel like, you know, part not partying per SE. 1700 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,760 No, no, I six or seven understood. 1701 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,600 But yeah, I mean, you, you still had a good time. 1702 01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:23,520 Definitely a little. Too young to party, even though 1703 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,320 back in my day we, you know, party very, very, very early. 1704 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,680 I I joke around. We talk about golf. 1705 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,600 The first time I was on a golf course was when we jumped the 1706 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:32,840 fence and had a beer on the gring. 1707 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:34,480 Oh, my gosh. Your story. 1708 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,200 Yeah, man, I'm not going to tell you how old I was. 1709 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,200 We were young. I couldn't have. 1710 01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,920 I remember going through that and and obviously, you know, 1711 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,480 going through my kids were young, but they weren't in full 1712 01:22:47,480 --> 01:22:50,280 blown school yet. They were young, so a little bit 1713 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,120 easier. And in a lot of ways, I don't 1714 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,120 want this to sound the wrong way. 1715 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:58,560 Like like we, I almost embraced it in a way because, you know, I 1716 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,280 was home. So I'm doing the show from home. 1717 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:01,800 Me and Tiki never stopped doing our show. 1718 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,360 We had it was ATV component. So we had the cameras in here. 1719 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,920 We were on CBS Sports Network and there was just nothing to 1720 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,720 talk about, right? And it was brutal. 1721 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,840 But we figured it out because me and Tik were very tight and we 1722 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,560 talked, talked about the world a lot and tried to find some 1723 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,960 interesting like Evergreen stuff like a lot of LeBron and you 1724 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,280 know, Kobe and Jack and Tiger and stuff like that. 1725 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:23,760 But well, I remember what we did. 1726 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,400 We moved into our home in December of 2018. 1727 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,640 So this is obviously 2020. And let's see. 1728 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:35,080 So that would have been my little guy was he was, he had 1729 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,000 just turned 5 and my daughter was still 3. 1730 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,720 So I remember like that first week, this is true story in our 1731 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,440 on our first floor in toward the back, we've got a, a pretty good 1732 01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:49,120 sized playroom, right? And like my wife did a great 1733 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:50,600 job. So like even before COVID, she 1734 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,800 put up like, you know, the alphabet, like the letters and 1735 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,000 like some basic mathematics, radical stuff and like the days 1736 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,600 of the week, the months of the year. 1737 01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:02,960 And then of course, you know, then the daddy took over and 1738 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,600 went a little next level because my Teek and I were on in the 1739 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,080 afternoon. We were doing the afternoon show 1740 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,600 across the country, right? So my mornings were free and I 1741 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,680 would go all right, time for class, kiddos, let's go. 1742 01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,640 And we had their little desks in there. 1743 01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,360 And I would now, I don't really know if they were understanding 1744 01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:21,040 it very much, but I'm doing like antonyms and homonyms and 1745 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,160 synonyms and like I'm going deep dive, man. 1746 01:24:23,480 --> 01:24:27,880 And I'm doing, I remember I found like 5 and 6 syllable 1747 01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,240 words. Actually, this another quick 1748 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,280 aside. This is how I taught my, my kids 1749 01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,160 about words and how to spell, how to sound it out. 1750 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,200 I would give me circumstantial. All right, So something like 1751 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,120 that, like circumstantial 4. I would say, all right, how many 1752 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,480 syllables in circumstantial before I'd ask him to spell, to 1753 01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:49,280 spell it, I'd say how many syllables and the little voices 1754 01:24:49,440 --> 01:24:53,440 and I, we would clap it out circumstantial, you know, and, 1755 01:24:53,440 --> 01:24:55,960 and that's kind of so I'm doing all this teaching and then I 1756 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:59,040 like get the map because I love geography and I'm, I'm hitting 1757 01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,360 the States and I'm trying to get, you know, North America, 1758 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,280 South America, Asia, Africa, Antarctica. 1759 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,680 There we go Australia. Like I'm doing the, I'm doing 1760 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,600 everything and I'm like, this is phenom. 1761 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:10,240 I'm even doing painting with them. 1762 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:14,320 Right. Dude, after one week, I had 1763 01:25:14,480 --> 01:25:19,880 literally nothing else to teach. No, at that point, when Covid's 1764 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,000 first hitting, you don't know how long you're going to be 1765 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,280 isolated. You get, you know, and they were 1766 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,520 still young and we didn't really know anybody in town yet, So, 1767 01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,360 and it was still chilly out. It was like March. 1768 01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:31,800 So it was a good time to really, as a family, just really 1769 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,560 everyday movies and games. And they were putting the 1770 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:35,840 doctor. I would be the patient. 1771 01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,320 They'd get dressed up in the doctor's gear after a week. 1772 01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,520 I'm like, I'm out of freak. I I got nothing else. 1773 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:42,960 I've just told you everything that I know in the world. 1774 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:46,320 I got nothing else. We got to figure this shit out 1775 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:47,280 here, man. That's. 1776 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,960 Too funny, man. You know what's crazy? 1777 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:55,000 I know you don't know this. So the the Big East tournament, 1778 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,240 you can look this up. Not now. 1779 01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:02,400 The video is as ominous and as jarring and and I've my real 1780 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:06,120 time feel when this was going on was unlike anything that I ever 1781 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:12,360 felt right. So I think about say if just 1782 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:13,520 give me a full screen for a second. 1783 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,120 So say if WFAN was here and the Garden was here, right? 1784 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,720 So this is the fan, I would park my car WFAN and then I would 1785 01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,720 jump on the one or the 9 train and I would just take it to the 1786 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,240 Garden when I had St. John's games. 1787 01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:28,240 And then obviously after the game, I would get back on the 1788 01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:32,280 train, take it 3-4 stops, walk out, get my car, drive home to 1789 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:35,280 New Jersey, right? So I take the train now. 1790 01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:37,520 I remember now things are starting. 1791 01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,600 That was after Rudy Gobert touched the microphones. 1792 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,440 I know you know that, right? And everybody's like, he was 1793 01:26:43,440 --> 01:26:45,640 mocking it and everybody's like, what is this COVID nonsense? 1794 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:49,880 And really, you know, anyway, for some stupid reason, Saint 1795 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:51,240 John, that's not Saint John's fault. 1796 01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:54,200 The Big East, what you want to talk about a void of leadership. 1797 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:55,560 I could not believe that they did this. 1798 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,800 We have a game and they're playing. 1799 01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,760 I think they were playing Creighton, right? 1800 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:04,280 Little tidbit, Saint John's was the Saint John's was the last 1801 01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:10,680 team to play, the last team to play in the entire country. 1802 01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,160 So me and Mink get there early and the way they and I remember 1803 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,120 leaving and my wife's like, they're really, they're really 1804 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:20,280 going to play. And I'm like, yeah, they're 1805 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,640 going to play. And I'm just, you know, me, I'm, 1806 01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:24,080 I'm a minimalist in terms of worry. 1807 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:24,920 I'm like, we're fine, we're good. 1808 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:26,800 But yeah, of course we're going to play, right. 1809 01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,320 They they won the day before and I'm thinking maybe we'll make a 1810 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:30,800 run, maybe we'll make the tournament. 1811 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,920 So me and they get there early and we get advised that I think 1812 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:42,280 each school was given 150 tickets, I think for parents and 1813 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:46,400 the band, something like that. So me and Minka courtside at the 1814 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:51,080 Big East tournament and I remember before the game, you 1815 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,720 know, at at the biggest, it's a mass of operations you can 1816 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:59,080 imagine TV's media, media guides every everything right, press 1817 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:02,280 conference set up and I and I'm walking to get some notes for 1818 01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:03,600 the St. John's I think again, I think it 1819 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:04,800 was Creighton, St. John's, Creighton. 1820 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,080 And I'm watching, I guess ESPN was on and I see now flashing on 1821 01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:13,280 the screen SAA, the remainder of the ACC tournament cancelled, 1822 01:28:13,480 --> 01:28:17,400 remainder of the SEC cancelled, Big 10 cancelled, Big 12 1823 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:21,000 cancelled. I'm like, I'm like, why are we 1824 01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:22,960 like, all right now? It's like now it's a little 1825 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,480 weird. And I go out and I sit down. 1826 01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:27,640 It's probably about 2530 minutes before the game. 1827 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,760 And I look up in the stands and this is guaranteed a picture 1828 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,880 that you could find on Google. The St. 1829 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:37,520 John's mascot is basically up in the upper deck, sitting by 1830 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,200 himself in full regalia. Full. 1831 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,200 Yep, it was the first thing you look up St. 1832 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,120 John's mascot, and then Covid's the first word that comes up. 1833 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,000 And I. Remember looking up at that 1834 01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,400 right? I'm like, wow, wow. 1835 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,360 This is, I'm going to use the word ominous again. 1836 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,800 This is really ominous. Can I throw that picture up? 1837 01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:56,160 Oh, yeah. I'd love to see. 1838 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,160 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. 1839 01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:01,600 Roll it up there, bro. You get it up there. 1840 01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,720 It's all good. And I remember looking around 1841 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,280 and it's just this 20,000 seat venue, You know, I love the 1842 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,040 garden. It's massive, cavernous now that 1843 01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:10,960 I think I'm not even sure if the band was there may have just 1844 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:12,960 been parents and immediate family of the players who were 1845 01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:16,040 playing that game. And we start the pregame show 1846 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:20,800 and Mink goes, all right. And we it's a sponsored element 1847 01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,400 and it's the keys to the game. All right, coming up, you know, 1848 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,840 coming up now BT is me, BT with his and he always does this with 1849 01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,000 his hand. BT with his keys to the game, 1850 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:30,640 right? I'm like God, Mink. 1851 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:34,240 And I was in such a bad mood and I said something like, listen, 1852 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,440 I, I just crushed the conference. 1853 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,320 I'm like, you want the keys to the game? 1854 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:40,480 Sure. I don't even know why we're 1855 01:29:40,480 --> 01:29:42,320 here. And I just eviscerated. 1856 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,440 Like it was not even as a key number one, don't get hurt key 1857 01:29:46,440 --> 01:29:49,760 #2 score more points. It was literally, I just want to 1858 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,480 get out of here, right? They play the first half and 1859 01:29:53,480 --> 01:29:56,960 Saint John every other game in the country. 1860 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:03,360 Mountain West, Whack, Mack, NEC, Sunbelt, everything canceled. 1861 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,400 For some idiotic reason. The Big East is still playing 1862 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:08,920 and I love the Big East, but it was so dumb, right? 1863 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:11,320 And we go to halftime. St. 1864 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:12,880 John's is winning. So I joke around, St. 1865 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:15,200 John's won the national championship that year because 1866 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,520 they were the last team with the lead, right? 1867 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:21,000 So we go to, I go to get a cup of coffee or just to see what 1868 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,840 the hell is going on. And I go back and it's like the 1869 01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,280 commissioner and other people that and they're all converged. 1870 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:28,000 They're like, we're going to can't, the games can't. 1871 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,360 So they actually played the first half of the game. 1872 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:31,640 By the way, did you find the picture? 1873 01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:32,600 Can you get it up there yet or no? 1874 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:36,080 Yeah, look now. It's not really, it's OK, not 1875 01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:40,160 very high quality, but it's OK. Though just a depressing shot 1876 01:30:40,440 --> 01:30:43,720 and I remember walk and I still wasn't nervous or afraid. 1877 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,000 I'm like, I was actually pissed. I'm like St. 1878 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,440 John's was playing well, but I knew you had to cancel the rest 1879 01:30:48,440 --> 01:30:50,760 of it. So anyway, Long story short, now 1880 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,960 I got to get on the train to go to get my car to get home and I 1881 01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,960 was on I'm, I'm walking down the stairs to go on the 1:00 train 1882 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,480 at the and there was one person that I passed. 1883 01:31:02,480 --> 01:31:05,040 Nobody was on the trains. It was a ghost town dude, which 1884 01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:09,040 was even more scary. The person that I passed, older 1885 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,560 woman, whatever, she went like this, like she actually, it just 1886 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:14,520 put me on the full screen because I'm walking up there. 1887 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,200 I smile at her. I'm trying to be nice and 1888 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,480 cordial to everybody, especially the elderly and women. 1889 01:31:18,480 --> 01:31:21,600 Whatever she walked as I walked by. 1890 01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:24,080 She she goes like she like, she just moves away from me. 1891 01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:30,120 I'm like, wow, man, this is so I get home and now it's full blown 1892 01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:32,600 like things are going on, but I'm still not worried. 1893 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,800 That was maybe a Thursday. If I, if I recollect, I think it 1894 01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,040 was a Thursday. So the next day I, I wake up, 1895 01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,360 you know, I'm like, alright. And I'm going in the, I'm 1896 01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,720 leaving the house and my wife goes where you going? 1897 01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,800 I don't go to work out. You know, I, I've since built 1898 01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:49,760 out my, my basement where I work out my basement, but I belong to 1899 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,040 a gym like 2 miles from home. I'm going to work out. 1900 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,440 We I'm going, which I, you know, I did at that point, probably 3 1901 01:31:55,440 --> 01:31:57,600 * a week, maybe 4.

I'm like, yeah, yeah. 1903 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:00,320 She's like, you're not going to work out. 1904 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:05,520 You can't leave the house. And I'm like, probably, right. 1905 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:07,480 I know it's not. I should say no, it's nothing. 1906 01:32:07,480 --> 01:32:09,960 I'm not a doctor, but I'm like, I don't think it's anything. 1907 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,160 But I got to respect their wishes on this because nobody 1908 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,360 really knows what's going, what's going to happen here. 1909 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,280 And I didn't work out. And I remember the first time, 1910 01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,200 I'm sure some of you did this, too. 1911 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,520 We ordered pizza and they would leave it on the steps. 1912 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:27,880 I don't know if you dealt OK And my wife would take the pizza and 1913 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,800 put it in the oven to even though it was piping hot to kill 1914 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,920 any existing germs that you might be on the I'm sure we did. 1915 01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,320 Yeah, I'm sure we had something similar to that. 1916 01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:42,040 Like where we someone go grocery shopping, we wipe down the blue 1917 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:47,080 some crazy nonsense, man. I mean, I don't even know what 1918 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:47,920 to say. I had. 1919 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,760 Nothing to say 1A. Different time. 1920 01:32:58,200 --> 01:32:59,800 What happened there? Is that all right? 1921 01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,000 No, thank you, Willie. I've actually done a couple of 1922 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,720 games on TVI haven't done them in a while. 1923 01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:08,680 I was doing some stuff for CBS Sports Network, like I did some 1924 01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,040 Seton Hall games, St. John's. 1925 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:15,480 I did the where was that? The Conference USA down, down at 1926 01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:17,360 Southern Miss, which was a great environment. 1927 01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:21,040 Did some games down in Annapolis, which was great to go 1928 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,040 on Navy's campus. Some other games I'm forgetting 1929 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,200 too. Couple of Ivy games. 1930 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,640 Whatever. I did some college baseball TV 1931 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,800 for a little bit, but no, I follow St. 1932 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,800 John's baseball like I follow Marist and and you know, matter 1933 01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,480 of fact, one time the head of this is pretty cool. 1934 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,040 This is probably about four years ago. 1935 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:41,440 So he was probably 7. And during the summer, I think 1936 01:33:41,440 --> 01:33:44,200 it was like Mike Anderson's second year or maybe even his 1937 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,240 first year. And they had like a, a private 1938 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,880 practice for season ticket holders and the, and the big 1939 01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:50,880 money boosters. And it was during the summer. 1940 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:54,200 So I, I took my son and you know, he met all the players and 1941 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,160 like Posh and Shamari Pons and those guys. 1942 01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:01,080 If you remember that team and the baseball field was open and 1943 01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:02,560 which I played on when I was in marriage. 1944 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:06,040 We, we played them once. We lost 2 to one and the gate 1945 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:08,040 was open. I let him run around the bases. 1946 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,920 They were sitting in the dugout, pretended he was walking up the 1947 01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:11,240 home plate. They got a good team. 1948 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:15,120 I mean, every year they have guys drafted very, very strong, 1949 01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,200 Strong Northeast baseball team. All right, Jay, Ron, anything 1950 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:19,640 else we got to get to before we bounce? 1951 01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:23,120 Let every up slap it up there. Special guest tomorrow. 1952 01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:25,480 This is going to be a blast. Can't wait to get my buddy on 1953 01:34:25,480 --> 01:34:27,280 the show. My good buddy. 1954 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:28,520 There he is. Yep. 1955 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:30,160 Now a lot of times you hear this a lot. 1956 01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,760 Oh my, you're going to hear somebody like doing a show and 1957 01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:34,840 introducing my good friend, my good buddy. 1958 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,520 And then they they barely know the guy like they they might, 1959 01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,920 they might have his phone number. 1960 01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:40,520 They might text them once in a while. 1961 01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,080 When I say that I'm I'm legitimately friends with 1962 01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,000 Michael Ki mean it. I've known him for 20 something 1963 01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:46,960 years. We worked at 10:50 together 1964 01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:49,480 forever. I was at his wedding. 1965 01:34:49,480 --> 01:34:51,560 He couldn't come to mind because the Yankees were still were in 1966 01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,960 the playoffs there. And it's just a great guy, you 1967 01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,440 know, him and all's quirks, him and all's his, his, his 1968 01:34:57,440 --> 01:35:00,320 brilliance with the Yankees. We're gonna have a fun, fun 1969 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:02,560 conversation. And it's funny, one thing I 1970 01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,240 remember about Mike, I don't know why this stands out. 1971 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,120 Remember, I was telling you the story the other day about when I 1972 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,040 ruptured my Achilles. Yeah. 1973 01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,400 Yeah, a Rod. Playing hoops in the Urban Men 1974 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:14,720 professional years ago. My dad with with the part of the 1975 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,840 story that I didn't tell you, which is actually pretty funny. 1976 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:23,680 I lived in a four story walk up, OK on the Upper West Side, great 1977 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:24,920 apartments. And it was one bedroom. 1978 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,360 It wasn't even the studio. It was one bedroom. 1979 01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:28,160 It was one bedroom. Yeah, it was nice, dude. 1980 01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,680 It was a nice building right by Central Park. 1981 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:31,440 It was awesome. Right. 1982 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:33,080 And what? Street. 1983 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:35,880 It was in the 80s, OK. That was beautiful. 1984 01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:39,520 Some friends who like lived in like that like 91st, 92nd and 1985 01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:42,680 Central Park area right I. Was right by Central Park West. 1986 01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:46,080 I'd ride my bike to 10:50, I would go along the West side 1987 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:49,680 Highway and then come around. And yeah, so anyway, so the 1988 01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,240 problem was, and my dad said I didn't have a girlfriend. 1989 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,000 I was wasn't married. And you know, my dad, you know, 1990 01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,120 being the awesome dad that he is, would come and pick me up 1991 01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:00,440 and like, well, first I went home and I stayed at my parents. 1992 01:36:00,440 --> 01:36:02,880 I missed work for like a week. I stayed at where I grew up. 1993 01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:05,240 So they, because I couldn't, couldn't, I mean, full had full 1994 01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:07,600 surgery. It's tough pain meds and you 1995 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,720 know, getting up to go to the bathroom to eat a lot of stuff 1996 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:12,520 going on. And my dad was like a rock star, 1997 01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,080 right? The same with my mom. 1998 01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:17,760 So when I moved, when it when I was deemed OK, maybe we could 1999 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:21,040 get back, he drove me and he would still come and pick me up 2000 01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,840 and sometimes take me to rehab until I was at least functional. 2001 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,280 Not then my station actually wound up sending and they 2002 01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,720 finally stepped up. They sent somebody to pick me up 2003 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,400 and then I would go to rehab. And then I can get around the 2004 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,520 crutches. But Long story short, I'll never 2005 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:36,000 forget. And when I went back to my 2006 01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:39,720 apartment, I stayed in there for about a week. 2007 01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:42,920 Like I didn't, you know, I had people come and visit me, a lot 2008 01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:44,800 of friends and stuff, including my dad. 2009 01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:47,560 Always going to get food like, you know, go great Jewish delis 2010 01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,920 on the upper on the Upper West Side, the soup and Oh my God, 2011 01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,000 the knishes. I mean, it was phenomenal. 2012 01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,280 Actually, I didn't mind that I was getting I was generated on 2013 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:56,480 hand and foot. All right. 2014 01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,960 So the way I got up the stairs, I'll never forget this. 2015 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:03,360 I once my dad left because he carried them up like when he 2016 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:08,880 left, I would take my crushes and I would throw them up a full 2017 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:10,600 flight of stairs. Now, if you know anything about 2018 01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,200 a pre war building, it's not a modern building. 2019 01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:16,440 I mean it's literally over 100 years old and the staircases are 2020 01:37:16,440 --> 01:37:22,240 so deep and so high and also a little bit smaller in terms of 2021 01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:25,640 width because the human body was a little bit smaller back then 2022 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,440 when they built these right. So I would Chuck these things 2023 01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:33,040 and I remember at the at the top of each staircase, there was a 2024 01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:34,600 wall, so there wasn't a lot of room. 2025 01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:36,720 So it's like throwing the freaking javelin. 2026 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,800 I had to be freaking perfect because every time I even if I 2027 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:43,640 got it on a perfect throw, most times it would ricochet off the 2028 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:47,720 back wall and come flying down. Oh my God, dude, it was that's 2029 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,400 dangerous. Wow, What I wasn't worried about 2030 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:50,920 getting. Hurt I was. 2031 01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,680 Yeah, Jay. It was it, it was brutal. 2032 01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:57,120 So once I actually then I had to do it the second flight, then 2033 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:58,960 the third flight, then the 4th flight. 2034 01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:01,760 And once I was, you know, lucky, lucky enough because it wasn't 2035 01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,760 skill, it was kind of luck to get him to stay up there. 2036 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:08,160 Not just one, but two crutches. I couldn't walk up the stairs. 2037 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:12,320 I would literally sit my ass on each stair hold with air, get me 2038 01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,920 on the full screen, sit my ass on the stairs right with the 2039 01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:21,360 take my hands and push my push myself up each stairs with my 2040 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,720 back to the stairs going upwards backwards bro. 2041 01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:29,360 And then I remember I developed and I don't have many phobias. 2042 01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,840 Although as I'm getting older I noticed I'm a little less 2043 01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:35,880 reluctant to enjoy heights that I noticed that that's crept in a 2044 01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:37,600 little bit. Thank God no other real phobias 2045 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,720 or fears. I that might be the first time 2046 01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:41,120 it crept in. I remember. 2047 01:38:41,440 --> 01:38:44,320 So now I'm still on crutches but I'm like the pains not searing. 2048 01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,280 I'm getting a little healthier when I'm finally going back to 2049 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,200 work and my dad's not there. It's just me. 2050 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,080 I had to do the opposite. I had to take my crutches and 2051 01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:53,760 fling them down the stairs, which was simple. 2052 01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:55,840 But then I had to go down the stairs. 2053 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:59,320 And I remember, and I was hopping down on one foot. 2054 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:00,840 I was doing it differently, right? 2055 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:05,560 And I remember, like, looking at this very sizable, very 2056 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:07,920 intimidating drop. And I'm like, I remember by 2057 01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,120 getting nervous, I'm like, I got to do four of these. 2058 01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,000 And, you know, eventually you kind of get a little bit used to 2059 01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,160 it. You suck it up and you move on. 2060 01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:17,560 But man, yeah, if you're going to rupture your Achilles, live 2061 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:22,360 in a home or have an elevator. All right, dude, just about 2062 01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,360 tapped out for today. Is there any text that we need 2063 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,560 to hit before we found what for sure chef they're got right? 2064 01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:33,320 Here the game day lineup got a oh dropped Whit, Junior, Harper, 2065 01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:39,440 Judge, Schwarber, Bregman, Raleigh, Anthony Buxton, Buxton. 2066 01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:41,640 Starting, Yep. OK, keep that up there. 2067 01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:45,200 Keep that up. OK, so skeins, skeins going to 2068 01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:46,360 pitch. I got you. 2069 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,720 Skeins will pitch Friday against Brazil and then I would imagine 2070 01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:52,160 Scuba will go after that because he's only making the one start 2071 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,760 that we talked about. So I had Wit first, all right, 2072 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:55,920 That was the easy one. Got that. 2073 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,480 I had Schwarber in the 2 hole. They put Bryce Harper, no issue 2074 01:39:59,480 --> 01:40:00,560 with that. I actually kind of like that 2075 01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:02,280 better. Judge three got it. 2076 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:04,560 Schwarber behind Judge, All right, so they flipped that 2077 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:09,360 there. I had Calrolie 50. 2078 01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:13,120 They got Bregman behind. Schwarber in the five hole and 2079 01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,160 then, all right, I had Bregman 7. 2080 01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,160 I had Cal Roll the five behind Bryce Harper in the four hole. 2081 01:40:18,440 --> 01:40:22,080 I guess I missed that. Yeah, I had Anthony in the six 2082 01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,880 hole playing left field. They got that and I had to Rang 2083 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:27,840 batting 9th, playing second. I got that and I had Pete Crow, 2084 01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:29,600 Armstrong and center. I got no problem with Buxton 2085 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:30,200 playing. There you go. 2086 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,120 He's going to hit eighth. OK, I'm into it. 2087 01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,040 Looking forward to it. Could have a little bit of fun 2088 01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:36,360 with this. Hey, get this out there. 2089 01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,840 Obviously, like and subscribe. I got to get the likes up, guys. 2090 01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,160 I'm doing my job. Those of you in here, you doing 2091 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,360 your job? We need to do it better. 2092 01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:46,040 All right, We are inching toward 18,000 Subs. 2093 01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,200 We just hit 17 the other day. Got to get the likes up, got to 2094 01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,280 get the comments going, got to get the traction going. 2095 01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:52,720 Got to get the shares on the shorts. 2096 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,320 Share the shorts. Don't just check them out, share 2097 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:57,000 them. Trust me, it helps me, of 2098 01:40:57,000 --> 01:40:59,200 course, but it also helps build out the show. 2099 01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,560 I'm not going to tell you why, obviously, I think you know why, 2100 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,640 but just the more you do and the more it goes out there and 2101 01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,680 grows, the more I can do. So I'm out for today. 2102 01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,560 Have a great day. Tomorrow is going to be awesome. 2103 01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:13,480 So I'll be on at 10 as always. Live at 10/10/15. 2104 01:41:13,480 --> 01:41:17,200 The great Michael K my my buddy Michael at 10:15 for at least 2105 01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:19,200 45. I might have to go to St. 2106 01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:20,440 John's tomorrow. I thought it was going to be 2107 01:41:20,440 --> 01:41:22,800 Thursday to shoot the show with Rick, but I got a text before. 2108 01:41:23,440 --> 01:41:25,080 It's probably going to be Wednesday, but it's not going to 2109 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:27,200 be as early as it was last Wednesday, so I'll be able to do 2110 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:30,720 more of a full show. Anyway, little story time today. 2111 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,680 Bounced around a little COVID, a little crutches going upstairs, 2112 01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,560 a lot of football to start. If you just jumped in, I laid it 2113 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,280 out for Kyler Murray and all the Kirk Cousins 2. 2114 01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,040 All the quarterbacks obviously talked about Breece. 2115 01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:46,400 We got confirmation today he got slapped with the franchise. 2116 01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,000 Not a surprise. We knew that was coming. 2117 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,000 Now they'll work out the full time deal, but they're going to 2118 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,560 have to carry that fairly. He's not going to sign $14 2119 01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,160 million a year, be lower than that, probably 12 or 13. 2120 01:41:55,440 --> 01:41:58,040 So it's a fairly exorbitant number at 14.1. 2121 01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,240 But he's exclusive property of The Jets. 2122 01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,440 With the transition, somebody can swoop it and try to sign 2123 01:42:02,440 --> 01:42:04,040 them. That can't happen now. 2124 01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,440 We knew he was staying put. If you didn't know that, I don't 2125 01:42:06,440 --> 01:42:07,960 know what to tell you. I've been telling you that for a 2126 01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,200 while. Mooji wanted it to happen, got 2127 01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,720 it done, good job. Now they want to hammer out that 2128 01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:14,920 long term deal, which I absolutely believe that they 2129 01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:16,320 will. Great confidence there. 2130 01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:18,560 We'll see if anybody else gets tagged. 2131 01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,080 I'm sure they will before the 4:00 PM deadline today. 2132 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,080 Have a great rest of your Tuesday. 2133 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:25,120 Like it, subscribe. All that stuff. 2134 01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:26,320 Catch you guys tomorrow. Peace.
